Described by TIME Magazine as a “smartwatch for the power grid,” Heimdall Power's Neuron provides real-time insight into the health and performance of transmission lines.

Described by TIME as a “smartwatch for the power grid,” the Neuron provides real-time insight into the health and performance of transmission lines. By continuously measuring line temperature, sag, current, and micro-climate conditions, the Neuron enables utilities to operate their networks more safely, efficiently, and intelligently. With these insights, utilities can dynamically adjust power flows, unlock hidden capacity, reduce congestion costs, and improve reliability, all without building new infrastructure.

“This recognition from TIME underscores what we’ve believed from the start: Smarter, data-driven grid operations are essential to building a more resilient, affordable, and sustainable energy system,” said Jørgen Festervoll, CEO of Heimdall Power. “The Neuron isn’t just a piece of hardware—it’s a catalyst for maximizing the grid and powering human progress.”

As electricity demand surges and the urgency of grid modernization grows, Heimdall Power’s inclusion in TIME’s Best Inventions list highlights a critical truth: The technologies needed to transform aging energy infrastructure already exists and are delivering measurable results today.
