Equilibrium Energy

Equilibrium Energy began its journey in 2021 with a bold and ambitious vision: to build a 'Climate Generation' power company from the ground up. Founded by Ryan Hanley and Kevin Clifford in San Francisco, the company emerged from the realization that the traditional power industry was ill-equipped to handle the complexities of a rapidly decarbonizing grid. As renewable energy sources like wind and solar became more prevalent, the volatility of the power grid increased, creating a need for a new kind of energy firm—one that could bridge the gap between physical power systems and cutting-edge digital technology. The founders set out to create a digital-native company that would not only participate in the energy market but revolutionize it through the application of advanced data science.

What started as a mission to 'reimagine power' has grown into a sophisticated operation that fuses deep energy expertise with advanced artificial intelligence and modern software engineering. Equilibrium Energy developed its flagship 'Mission Control' platform, a fully automated, AI-driven operating system designed to optimize the management of grid-scale energy storage and renewable assets. By treating the power grid as a complex, data-rich environment, the company has successfully deployed battery tolling agreements and trading strategies that outperform traditional models. Their approach allows for the seamless integration of battery assets into the grid, providing critical stability and efficiency that supports the broader adoption of clean energy.

Today, Equilibrium Energy stands at the forefront of the clean energy transition, operating as a next-generation independent power producer. With a team of experts spanning power markets, machine learning, and software development, the company continues to scale its impact. They are not just building software; they are building a new kind of utility for the 21st century, one that leverages the power of AI to drive the world toward a more sustainable, reliable, and resilient energy future. Their journey represents a fundamental shift in how energy is managed, moving from static, legacy systems to dynamic, intelligent operations that can adapt to the needs of a changing planet.
