Amperon | The AI Company for the Energy Transition

Our Story

The world’s electricity demand is growing fast, and so is the complexity of meeting it. Consumption patterns are shifting, renewable generation is on the rise, and the grid is being tested by both innovation and extreme weather. Balancing supply and demand has never been harder, and the stakes have never been higher.

Amperon was founded in 2018 with a simple but urgent idea: combine deep expertise in power markets, meteorology, and data science with cutting-edge AI to deliver the most accurate energy forecasts in the industry.

In just seven years, we’ve expanded across North America, Europe, and Australia, serving over 150 utilities, retailers, renewable generators, and market participants. Along the way, we’ve built a team of 90+ experts and created a suite of forecasting products trusted by the biggest players in energy.

Today, Amperon stands at the intersection of energy data and AI—equipping our customers with real-time, data-driven insights that help them optimize resources, enhance grid reliability, and capture opportunities in the rapidly changing energy landscape.
