Today's energy grids are unable to keep up with the intense demand being heaped upon them. Globally, energy projects struggle to overcome permitting hurdles. Making smart grids a realityData was transmitted across a national energy grid for the first time in 2016. Startups selling them are hoping to alleviate pressure from physical grid infrastructure and allow operators to do more with the infrastructure they have. Victoria McIvor, an advisor to energy startups who was formerly an investor at the European climatetech firm World Fund, imagines a future where energy tariffs dictate when energy-intensive appliances run.

California startup Gridware is working to prevent forest fires and make the grid more resilient. But Timothy Barat, the cofounder and CEO of risk management and wildfire mitigation startup Gridware, does exactly that. On a huge plot of land outside California's Bay area, Gridware has its own electricity grid complete with full-size 40-foot poles and power lines spanning 200 feet. Wildfires can be sparked by a number of things, including downed power lines. For example, the startup can detect vegetation striking power lines as soon as it happens.
