ABOUT US

Founded in 2016, Heimdall Power is on a mission to make the world’s power grids smarter and more resilient. More than 50 utilities across 20 countries rely on our technology to increase grid capacity, prevent outages, protect critical infrastructure, and meet regulatory demands.

At the core of our offering is the award-winning Neuron™, a hardware sensor mounted directly on power lines. Combined with plug-and-play software, advanced communications, and drone-based installation, our solution enables dynamic line rating (DLR), ambient adjusted rating (AAR), and asset health monitoring.
