Nvidia Names 5 Companies Using AI for Clean Energy, Grid Reviews Cut From 45 Days to 2 Minutes
nordicinst · x · 2026-09-21
An Nvidia blog post, timed to New York Climate Week, highlighting five companies using AI to accelerate clean energy and help build a lower-carbon grid.
- ThinkLabs AI: builds digital twins and agents on the NVIDIA CUDA platform to speed up interconnection timelines, integrate clean energy sources, and optimize the grid for ongoing variability. CEO Josh Wong says the grid is getting less certain, so the ability to see things as a probability rather than statically should be risk-informed, hitting both reliability and affordability goals. Southern California Edison used ThinkLabs software to cut the time to evaluate each grid interconnection application from 30-45 days to just two minutes, thanks to a ThinkLabs agent that runs grid simulations and identifies solutions to interconnection barriers.
- Atomic Canyon: its AI platform helps redefine operations in the nuclear sector, with a case at PG&E's Diablo Canyon.
The piece also cites efforts from fast-tracking fusion to repurposing recycled EV batteries for energy storage, as these innovators harness AI to accelerate research-to-inception pipelines.
