Do you want to be part of facilitating the green transition? Do you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your actions drive meaningful change? Do you enjoy solving hard problems together with ambitious people? If this sounds like you, this could be a perfect match.

Join us to facilitate the green transition

Electrification and the transition to fossil-free energy create fantastic opportunities for us as individuals, as a company, and for society at large. However, it also creates challenges, especially for our energy system. Ingrid Capacity is a new kind of energy company on a mission to shape the future of energy. We challenge conventional energy models with intelligent energy services for grid operators and users. By uniquely combining software, hardware, and commercial innovation, we tackle one of the biggest bottlenecks to the energy transition: electricity grid constraints. This enables us to accelerate electrification and contribute to a more resilient, competitive, and sustainable energy system. Our impact is here and now. Since our founding in 2022, we have built a leading electricity trading and optimization platform, commissioned and now operate over 200 MWh of large-scale energy storage facilities, and have an additional 340 MWh under construction across Europe. Today, Ingrid Capacity is in a rapid growth phase.
