What Eneida does

Eneida Wireless and Sensors, S.A. is a Portuguese grid-technology company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Coimbra that builds hardware and software for low-voltage (LV) electricity distribution networks. Its flagship offering, the Eneida DeepGrid® platform, combines EdgeSense smart sensors (with embedded AI), the EdgeForce mobile application for field operatives, the Discovery data-management environment, and a suite of modular LV Operational Analytics Apps covering fault detection, solar PV integration, EV charging detection, capacity optimisation, grid topology auto-discovery, energy losses, and power quality monitoring. The platform is designed to be sensor-agnostic and application-agnostic, exposing APIs and (in development) web/Edge SDKs so DSOs and third parties can integrate or build on top of it.

The company sells primarily to Distribution System Operators (DSOs) — utility companies that operate LV infrastructure serving residential and commercial end consumers. Its commercial motion is enterprise field sales via complex tenders, supplemented by recurring subscriptions for the DeepGrid software and LV Apps, professional services for deployment, and hardware unit sales of EdgeSense sensor variants (DTVI-g, DTVI-m, DTVI-g PMT, InGrid). The go-to-market is reinforced by participation in industry bodies such as CIRED and European Utility Week, by an active C-suite-led research publication track, and by a portfolio of utility-grade certifications (ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, TÜV Rheinland, Achilles UVDB Silver, EcoVadis Silver).

Eneida has been funded primarily through a combination of EU/FEDER research grants (over €10M across the NextSTEP, Grid2C, FaultLoc, and ATE consortium projects) and Portuguese/European venture capital. Investors disclosed across funding rounds include Portugal Ventures, HCapital Partners, EIT InnoEnergy, Korys, 200M, Junction Growth Investors (lead of the July 2024 round), and Santander Asset Management. Operationally, the company is active in Portugal, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and New Zealand, with stated ambition to become a global leader in LV grid services.
