About

BlueGrid Energy is a marine startup based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, founded in 2016. The company specializes in grid-integration intelligence for electric vessels, focusing on vessel-to-grid (V2G) technology to support marine electrification and net zero goals. By turning electric marine vessels into virtual power plants, BlueGrid enables bidirectional energy flow between vessels and the grid, facilitating renewable energy integration and reducing emissions. The company offers SaaS-based software solutions that optimize energy use and standardize vessel-grid connections. Their products include BlueGrid Vessel Insights, which analyzes carbon-powered vessels to inform electrification decisions; BlueGrid Grid Insights, providing data for marine charging infrastructure; and BlueGrid Operations, which aggregates vessel batteries for scalable grid energy storage. BlueGrid collaborates with various partners, including Evoy, ABCO shipbuilders, and Dalhousie University, and is actively expanding its presence in Canada, the UK, Europe, and North America's West Coast.
