IronGrid
IronGrid provides long-term, fully underwritten warranties for grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), enabling faster and more cost-effective deployment of clean energy infrastructure. As energy storage becomes critical to decarbonizing the grid, today’s projects face a major hurdle: financial uncertainty driven by unclear battery degradation and performance risk. Manufacturers offer limited coverage, and insurers have lacked the tools to price these risks accurately.
IronGrid addresses this challenge by combining real-world operational data with physics-based degradation models to predict how batteries will perform over time. This predictive approach allows IronGrid to structure smarter warranties backed by third-party underwriters, de-risking projects for asset owners, integrators, and financiers. The result is reduced cost of capital, increased system uptime, and broader access to low-carbon technologies.
IronGrid bridges the gap between technical insight and financial innovation. By turning battery performance into a bankable asset, IronGrid supports the reliability and scalability of the clean energy transition.
