Heron Power
Develops advanced industrial power electronics, including modular solid-state transformers, to modernize and scale the electric grid
About Heron Power
Heron Power is a California-based startup focused on modernizing the electrical grid through advanced power electronics, with a particular emphasis on solid-state transformer technology. Founded and led by Drew Baglino, former Senior Vice President of Powertrain and Energy at Tesla, the company targets the critical bottlenecks in electricity generation and consumption that have emerged as renewable energy, battery storage, and data center loads accelerate grid demand.
Read full description
Heron Power’s flagship product, the Heron Link, is a modular, megawatt-scale power converter that eliminates the need for traditional transformers by connecting directly to medium voltage. Built on cutting-edge wide-bandgap semiconductors, the Heron Link offers high power density, ease of maintenance, and integrated voltage and frequency regulation. This enables greater reliability, lower costs, and improved grid stability—key factors for renewable energy, storage, and data center developers. The technology is designed to actively manage power flows, rapidly transition between sources, and help prevent cascading outages, addressing issues that legacy transformers cannot solve.
Heron Power plans to complete internal pilots in 2026, followed by partner installations in 2027, with manufacturing based in the United States. The team brings extensive expertise, having collectively deployed over 80 gigawatts of grid-connected power electronics in the past decade.
Heron Power’s innovation aims to accelerate the all-electric future by providing scalable, robust, and software-integrated infrastructure for the rapidly evolving energy landscape.
