envelio Wins Reuters Events Grid Infrastructure Award

• Reuters Events Grid Infrastructure Award: envelio won the Technologies of Change category, recognizing technologies that deliver measurable value and can be deployed at scale.
• Award-winning Intelligent Grid Platform: The IGP helps utilities modernize grid planning, interconnections, and operations through digital twins, automation, and advanced engineering workflows.
• Latest innovation: envelio recently introduced a patent-pending GPU-based power flow solver that reduces annual time-series simulations from days or weeks to less than 30 seconds.

BOSTON, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- envelio, a provider of advanced grid planning and interconnection software for electric utilities, has won the Reuters Events Grid Infrastructure Award in the Technologies of Change category at the Reuters Events Energy Industry Awards, held June 22 in New York City.

The Reuters Events Grid Infrastructure Award recognizes technologies that deliver measurable value under real-world conditions and can be deployed at scale. Winners are selected based on their contribution to advancing grid modernization, resilience, and innovation while delivering tangible value to utilities and the broader energy industry.

The honor is particularly meaningful given the exceptional caliber of this year's finalists, which included innovators such as Tapestry, a Google X moonshot, and other companies shaping the future of the energy industry.

The award recognizes the impact of envelio's Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP), which enables utilities to create a computable digital twin of their distribution network and automate critical engineering processes across grid planning, interconnections, and operations.

As utilities face rising interconnection volumes, increasing electrification, growing distributed energy resource (DER) adoption, and mounting pressure to optimize grid investments, the IGP transforms fragmented data into actionable insights—providing a transparent, scalable foundation for faster engineering decisions and more efficient grid modernization.

"We are honored to receive this award from Reuters Events," said Luigi Montana, CEO of envelio Inc. "This award reflects the trust our utility customers place in us and the dedication of our team. As utilities navigate growing interconnection volumes and increasing grid complexity, they need faster, more informed engineering decisions, and we're proud the Intelligent Grid Platform is helping make that possible."

More than 90 utilities worldwide already use the Intelligent Grid Platform to improve grid transparency, accelerate interconnection processes, enhance planning capabilities, and support long-term grid modernization initiatives.

Advancing Grid Studies with a GPU-Based Power Flow Solver

The award also reflects envelio's continued commitment to innovation. In June, the company announced a patent-pending GPU-based power flow solver that reduces annual time-series simulation runtimes from days—or even weeks—to less than 30 seconds, making it up to 20,000 times faster than processes relying on conventional desktop-based grid calculation tools.

Unlike AI-based estimation approaches, the GPU-based solver performs physics-based calculations on a computable digital twin, enabling trusted engineering results while supporting large-scale scenario simulations, faster interconnection assessments, more flexible grid operations, and more informed grid investment decisions.

"This award validates the importance of equipping utilities with the digital tools needed to manage increasing grid complexity," added Montana. "The future grid requires faster, more transparent, and more scalable decision-making. From digital twins and automated engineering workflows to breakthroughs like our GPU-based power flow solver, we remain focused on helping utilities unlock more value from existing infrastructure, accelerate interconnections, and plan for the future with confidence."

About the Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP)
