Kapacity.io

Founded by Sonja, Rami, and Jaakko, Kapacity.io is a Finnish company located in Helsinki, operating within the energy sector of the industrials industry. The company, part of the Y-Combinator S21 batch, focuses on enabling a fully decarbonized electricity grid through its innovative cloud-based Demand Response Platform. This platform seeks to integrate every heat pump into a single system, or Virtual Power Plant, allowing for the centralized adjustment of millions of devices’ power consumption. This integration not only aims to reduce costs and grid emissions but also helps prevent rolling blackouts and supports the absorption of more renewable energy into power grids. Kapacity.io’s team comprises product professionals, energy experts, and software engineers from diverse backgrounds, all committed to transforming power consumption in line with the global shift towards renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power. The company offers various service plans, including a Lite plan and a Standard plan, which provide features like electricity and energy optimization based on weather, customer support, and a 30-day free trial. Kapacity.io’s operations are particularly significant in Finland, which has the highest per capita number of heat pumps in the world, positioning the company at the forefront of leveraging this technology to meet the challenges posed by the expected tripling of global electricity demand by 2050.
