Converting studies

from a constraint into

from a constraint

into

a catalyst

Tom and Dio founded Piq to solve the biggest bottleneck to unlocking power: grid studies. Working with utilities around the world while at Smart Wires, they saw how lengthy studies were constraining interconnection for everything from new IBRs to GETs. The grid needed to move fast. But studies still took months and were run manually on tools that had barely been updated in decades.

Catalyzing the next terawatt of power in America starts with compressing studies from months to minutes. With rapid studies, engineers can test far more options and find the optimal solutions to unlock power on the grid. Piq is the foundational platform that makes this possible today, safely running agents to amplify human expertise and unlock the grid.
