LineVision Secures Capital to Accelerate Global Deployment

LineVision, Inc. (“LineVision”) today announced its Series D financing round led by new investors with deep energy-sector experience, Centaurus Capital and New System Ventures, with additional participation from National Grid Partners and other existing investors, for a total of up to $37.5 million. The investment further establishes LineVision’s position as the leading provider of transmission grid intelligence, including its Dynamic Line Ratings (DLR) solution, and enables the accelerated deployment of the company’s platform to help utilities around the world optimize and expand transmission grid capacity.

Demand from AI factories, advanced manufacturing, and electrification is growing faster than transmission can be built, intensifying pressures on energy security and affordability. In the face of these unprecedented challenges, it is critical to optimize the existing grid and how it is upgraded. LineVision’s platform leverages advanced, physics-based modeling with years of ground-truth data from field sensors to deliver an essential, network-scale information layer that transforms how the critical physical backbone of our economy is operated and planned.

Beyond its technological advantages, LineVision's team understands how the power system works and what each stakeholder needs: the operator ensuring availability on the tightest day of the year; the planner directing a decade of capital; the regulator weighing what is prudent for ratepayers; the energy consumer bearing the brunt of rising electricity costs; the asset owner facing outsized curtailment; and the developer waiting years to connect. Having moved beyond pilots into at-scale deployment, LineVision is ideally positioned to support the intersection of these interests and lead consolidation of a fragmented, high-value market landscape of grid-enhancing technologies.

“Transmission is a binding constraint on affordability, reliability, and economic growth worldwide,” said John Arnold, Founder of Centaurus Capital. “While we must build more capacity, having better visibility into the true potential of what we have already built—and where upgrades would be most effective—is critical to alleviating these constraints. LineVision has built a market-leading platform capable of providing this intelligence across transmission networks globally.”

“Grid-enhancing technologies are a key pillar of our modern power grid. LineVision has become a leader in a category that is now increasingly important to unlocking capacity and speed in the modern grid, supported by a large and growing data moat,” said Ian Samuels, Founder and Managing Partner at New System Ventures. “The Company is led by an expanding, exceptional team with a track record of executing at scale. We are thrilled to partner with them and support their next phase of growth.”

“We first invested in LineVision five years ago and have seen firsthand how their solutions are delivering benefits across our networks,” said Kristian Bodek, Investment Director at National Grid Partners. “In the UK, National Grid has already seen more than £20 million in customer savings and enough added capacity to power more than 500,000 homes; meanwhile, our Western New York control room has seen the largest operationalization of DLR in the United States, enabling us to optimize power flows in real time. This is proven technology delivering real value for our customers, and we’re excited to support LineVision as it accelerates.”

“The fastest, cheapest megawatts are the ones we’ve already built, and the next ones need to go exactly where they’re needed most. Better information unlocks both,” said Vishal Kapadia, President and CEO of LineVision. “Optimizing the existing grid, and the investment needed to upgrade it, is one of the most consequential challenges in front of us. Our platform is positioned to transform how transmission systems are operated and planned, and the capabilities we’ve built to do so are second to none. We have a tremendous opportunity to leverage our leading market position, commercial creativity, and access to capital to unlock the benefits that speed to power and lower cost of power enable for the global economy. The window is open for us to accelerate growth, both organically and inorganically, and we are thrilled to have the support of our capital partners to lead through it.”
