About Heimdall Power
Founded in Norway in 2016, we set out with a clear purpose: to bring greater awareness and intelligence to power grids—making them safer, smarter, and more responsive. Inspired by our namesake, we believe in seeing clearly, acting early, and never standing still.
From day one, our work has combined Nordic engineering principles with global ambition. What began as a bold idea in the Nordics is now a growing network of technology, partnerships, and purpose—deployed across continents, supporting some of the world’s most forward-thinking grid operators.
The world’s energy systems are experiencing rapid change and unprecedented pressure. Our goal is to help ensure that change is both manageable and meaningful—with solutions that strengthen the grid, the people who operate it, and everyone who depends on it.
