Overview
Withthegrid develops technology for monitoring critical infrastructure and controlling distributed energy resources. Its principal buyers and users include renewable-asset owners, independent power producers, energy traders, grid operators, installers, original equipment manufacturers, and infrastructure managers.
The company has two main product lines. The Teleport Gateway is installed on-site to connect renewable assets with external systems and apply local energy-management logic. The Asset Monitoring Platform, or AMP, processes data from connected IoT devices for asset-health monitoring and operational workflows. This places Withthegrid across both energy control and infrastructure monitoring, rather than solely in cloud analytics or market aggregation.
The Teleport is particularly relevant where a buyer must coordinate different asset vendors, expose consistent telemetry and control upstream, meet grid-operator requirements, or keep protective behavior operating during a cloud outage. Withthegrid reports more than 100 customers across the EU, 2.5 GW of flexibility unlocked, and deployments in seven countries.
Offering
Teleport Gateway
The Teleport Gateway connects solar, wind, battery storage, EV chargers, meters, generators, relays, and other equipment to traders, grid operators, databases, and IT platforms. Withthegrid describes it as a neutral execution layer: an upstream party can issue dispatch instructions, while the controller validates those instructions against local limits.
Local strategies include grid-connection safeguards, zero export, power reservation, peak shaving, solar self-consumption, cable pooling, cascade control, and coordination of multiple assets behind one connection. The product also supports workflows associated with Dutch congestion programmes and FCR, aFRR, and mFRR balancing services. Participation and revenue still depend on the relevant trader, aggregator, market rules, and asset qualification.
Asset Monitoring Platform
AMP combines IoT connectivity with an operational monitoring environment. Users can configure devices and data streams, forward data to enterprise systems, manage firmware, and monitor asset health through maps and dashboards.
Its workflow features include anomaly detection, configurable alerts, issue creation and assignment, analytics, reporting, and use-case-specific algorithms. Published applications include cathodic protection, leak detection, power-quality monitoring, water networks, pipelines, and district-heating infrastructure.

Technology
Integration and local control
Withthegrid publishes an asset library covering more than 450 equipment types. A generic integration specification also documents the minimum Modbus data and control registers required for compatible generating assets. This is useful evidence of extensibility, but buyers should confirm support for the exact model, firmware, register map, writable controls, and required operating mode.
The Teleport exposes a standardized JSON REST API and can forward data to databases, message brokers, or webhooks. Published integrations include Powernaut for VPP and trading workflows and Meter Insight for energy monitoring. The Teleport is also certified to connect remote-control equipment to the Emsys VPP infrastructure.
Control logic runs locally. If cloud connectivity is lost, the Gateway can continue predefined strategies; the Novar case study states that it retains the last-known or predefined curtailment limit. Exact fail-safe states and command-verification behavior should be established during technical qualification.
Security and compliance
Withthegrid documents an ISO 27001-certified information-security management system and ISO 9001-certified quality-management system. Its security architecture includes outbound-only Gateway connections, unique device certificates, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, remote firmware management, EU-hosted cloud infrastructure, and continuous monitoring. Customers retain ownership and control of their data.
The company also states that the Teleport hardware complies with NIS2 and RED 3.3 requirements. Certification scope should be checked against the buyer's jurisdiction and project date.
For Dutch generators and storage installations subject to the Realtime Interface requirement, the Teleport is presented as the first DNV-certified customer endpoint. The interface uses IEC 61850 between the customer and distribution-system-operator endpoints. Withthegrid also reports RfG certifications in several European countries, but the supplied evidence does not enumerate every certificate and applicable asset class.
Customers
Renewable-asset control
Novar selected the Teleport to standardize monitoring and control across a 650 MW solar portfolio spanning multiple inverter brands and site types. At publication, 150 MW was live, 350 MW was in the operational phase, and the remainder was planned.
Other public references include a battery at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, an energy hub at the Port of Amsterdam, and Enexis's first Realtime Interface pilot. Customer statements also identify work involving Vandebron, OM | Nieuwe Energie, Return, and Skoon.
Infrastructure monitoring
AMP references include Stedin, Joulz, Shell NAM, Warmtebedrijf Rotterdam, Eneco, and Hommema. Stedin reports reducing routine physical inspections of cathodic-protection measurement points from annual visits to once every three years. These references show use beyond electricity generation, including gas pipelines and district-heating infrastructure.
Markets
Withthegrid is headquartered in Utrecht and focuses on Europe. Its regulatory material addresses the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, and Denmark, while the company reports deployments in seven countries.
Routes to market include direct sales and an installer and commercial-partner network. The public partner directory lists energy suppliers, traders, battery optimizers, engineering firms, installers, asset managers, and energy-management providers with active relationships and verified Teleport deployments. OEMs can also incorporate the Gateway into their equipment offering.
Company
Leadership and funding
Withthegrid was founded in 2016. Its leadership team comprises co-founders Paul Mignot, CEO, and Rob Everhardt, CTO, alongside COO Anouk de Laat. Structured company data records approximately 57 employees and private ownership.
In March 2025, the company announced €3.5 million in financing: €2 million from Move Energy and €1.5 million in debt financing from Rabobank and Nationaal Groenfonds. The stated uses were product development, operational scaling, and European expansion.
Assessment
Strong European grid-edge offering with unusually detailed evidence for interoperability, local control, security, and production deployments, but limited public pricing and financial disclosure.
Interoperability
