Engineering stability for the future

GridCore is a Norwegian company operating battery energy storage systems that make the power grid more reliable, flexible, and ready for the future.

Building a resilient grid for the Nordic energy transition

As electrification accelerates and renewable energy expands, our mission is to ensure the grid remains stable, safe, and capable of meeting tomorrow’s energy needs.

We collaborate with landowners, municipalities, and grid operators to identify optimal sites where energy storage can strengthen local capacity, reduce bottlenecks and enable integration for renewable energy sources.

Each project is built on the same principle: technical quality, environmental care and long-term responsibility.
