Elvia pilots eqGrid grid-optimization technology in Råde municipality

• Smart Innovation Norway portfolio company eqGrid installed its grid-optimization system in Elvia’s Råde pilot, backed by Enova funding.
• Early pilot results showed solar-driven overvoltage eliminated; phase imbalance during EV charging cut to under 2% from 10%.
• Elvia reported higher usable capacity in the existing distribution network, reducing the need for near-term grid reinforcement.
• eqGrid’s setup combines a patented on-load tap changer with a fast battery system to manage long-duration voltage shifts, rapid fluctuations.
• The solution is positioned for Nordic, international rollout following more than 10 years of development under Energea with Studer Innotec.
