Intelligent Grid Platform
The grid needs faster decisions – now that’s possible.
The envelio Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP) provides one continuously updated grid model and automated engineering workflows to accelerate interconnection, planning, and operational decision-making.
Utilities across the United States are facing unprecedented pressure: surging demand from EVs and data centers, rapid growth in DER interconnection requests, and a tightening engineering workforce. Traditional planning and study processes can’t scale fast enough – creating delays, rising costs, and increasing regulatory scrutiny.
The envelio IGP is the engineering-first grid modernization platform used by leading utilities worldwide to turn fragmented data into a reliable basis for faster, more transparent decisions.

From data to decision – in one platform.
The envelio IGP provides a single platform that unifies grid data, automated modeling, and interconnection workflows – enabling utilities to run end-to-end studies in minutes, not months.
Key benefits include:
End-to-End Interconnection Automation
Automate the full engineering workflow – not just individual study steps – to reduce queue backlogs and accelerate cycle times.
A Single, Consistent Grid Model
Daily-refreshed, validated grid models become a trusted source of truth for hosting capacity, interconnection reviews, and long-term planning.
Faster Time to Decision
Real-time hosting capacity visibility and automated load-flow calculations provide immediate insights for customers and engineers.
Reduced Reliance on Scarce Engineering Resources
Automate repetitive study tasks so teams can focus on higher-value engineering work.
Regulatory Confidence & Risk Reduction
Transparent and repeatable workflows improve compliance, reduce uncertainty, and support more accurate investment planning.
Scalable & Modular Platform
Start with interconnection, hosting capacity, or data improvement – and expand seamlessly without the need for rip-and-replace.

The Challenge – and the Problem Behind It
Most utilities rely on fragmented systems such as GIS, MDM, DMS/OMS, engineering tools, customer portals, and countless spreadsheets.
Grid models are often inconsistent or outdated. Study workflows are slow. Customer requests require repetitive manual effort. Partial automation tools solve individual steps, but not the end-to-end process.
As DER volumes grow and load patterns change, this results in:
- Prolonged turnaround times
- Incomplete or inconsistent study inputs
- Queue backlogs and customer frustration
- Greater regulatory pressure
Utilities can’t hire their way out of this challenge. They need automation, consistent data, and modernized workflows.
The Breakthrough: One Platform, Three Core Capabilities
The Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP) brings together grid data, daily refreshed models, and automated engineering workflows into a unified system.
1. Unify & Validate Grid Data
The Grid Hub consolidates asset, topology, measurement, and operational data into one continuously updated grid model.
Sophisticated matching algorithms, automated validation, and configurable cleansing workflows ensure data completeness, plausibility, and consistency.
2. Automate Engineering Workflows
From siting and hosting capacity to complete interconnection studies, the IGP automates repetitive steps and standardizes engineering logic.
Utilities gain:
- Automated load-flow calculations
- Point-of-interconnection identification and variant evaluation
- Integration of queued projects
- Scenario-based assessments
3. Plan & Operate With Confidence
With a trusted grid model and automated insights, utilities can:
- Make decisions faster
- Prioritize reinforcement needs
- Evaluate multiple scenarios
- Support compliance and transparency requirements
The Grid Hub – Foundation for Reliable Network Models
The Grid Hub is the operational backbone of the IGP. It centralizes and synchronizes built, planned, and forecast grid states, enabling reliable network models across teams and processes.
Key capabilities include:
- Automated model refresh and data synchronization
- Configurable validation and cleansing workflows
- Versioning, change tracking, and auditability
- API-first integration into existing systems
One source of truth. Consistently reliable network models across planning, operations, and interconnection.
How Grid Models Are Created and Kept Current
Our engineering and data teams develop tailored integrations with GIS, MDM, SCADA, AMI, application portals, customer systems, and simulation tools.
Data from different systems is merged using advanced algorithms, validated, and automatically corrected where necessary.
Once established, data changes are continuously monitored and synchronized, ensuring the grid model is always up to date.
Why utilities chose the envelio IGP
Michal Holan
Senior Project Manager at EG.D
"We deployed two digital IGP modules into our IT landscape. The IGP’s intuitive, online tool enabled more than 80,000 unbinding interconnection checks, confirming the great interest in connecting DERs. Additionally, the IGP is used for faster processing of interconnection applications, and here we found that the new process is twice as fast than with our previous system.”
Mona Keller
Head of Asset Management & Strategic Planning at FairNetz
"In some cases, it would not have been possible to anticipate the high load without the IGP. The IGP provides calculation results which already take existing as well as approved but not yet installed generators into account. That is why we were able to visualize a rapid concentration of assets set to be put into operation and based on this information, we can already initiate grid expansion measures at an early stage."
Stephan Mäurer
Supervision of the flexibility management project in the low voltage grid as part of the eNET program (Avacon)
"We are preparing our grids for reliable supply in a complex energy system. By designing and applying automation to eliminate congestion using the IGP, we implement a key element for grid-oriented management of flexibilities in low voltage grids."
Rainer Loeber
Head of Electricity Department at Travenetz
"Like all grid operators, we are facing a significant increase in grid connection requests. With the IGP, we consider ourselves optimally prepared for this challenge and other aspects of the energy transition. In addition to the technical grid connection assessment, which has been smoothly integrated into the registration process at TraveNetz, we can, for example, use future grid scenario analyses created with the ‘Grid Study’ application as an important aid in investment decisions for grid expansion."
David Langner
Technical Customer Service Department at Stadtwerke Jena Netze
"Convincing everyone in the company about the importance of digitalization wasn’t always easy, and we faced significant challenges with our data quality. However, the experienced team at envelio consistently provided friendly and helpful support. With the introduction of the Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP), we can now pull data from various systems for grid calculations, enabling us to evaluate the utilization of our entire network for the first time."
Trusted Globally – Optimized for North America
Utilities worldwide use the IGP to process thousands of interconnection requests, run large-scale simulations, and maintain trusted grid models.
Our customer stories demonstrate:
- Reduced internal workload for grid planners by 20 % (E.DIS)
- Study time reduced from hours to minutes (Syna)
- Higher-quality data and reduced manual workload (FairNetz)
