LineVision raises $38M Series D to scale grid-intelligence platform
What's the deal? LineVisionDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has raised a $37.5 million Series D, co-led by Centaurus CapitalDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → and New System VenturesDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, with participation from National Grid Partners and other existing investors. The company provides transmission grid intelligence, including a Dynamic Line Ratings solution that helps utilities optimise and expand grid capacity.
Why now? Demand from AI data centres, advanced manufacturing, and electrification is growing faster than transmission can be built. That gap is putting pressure on energy security and affordability, making better use of the existing grid more urgent.
What's the endgame? LineVision uses physics-based modelling and field-sensor data to deliver a network-scale information layer for operating and planning transmission networks. The funding will accelerate global deployment of its platform to utilities.
The round lands in the upper half of comparable deals, ranking around the 52nd percentile by amount — a solid raise in a capital-intensive sector.
Proof points: Investor National Grid Partners first backed LineVision five years ago. In the UK, National Grid says it has seen more than £20 million in customer savings and enough added capacity to power over 500,000 homes, while its Western New York control room runs what it calls the largest operationalisation of Dynamic Line Ratings in the US.
What they're saying: "Transmission is a binding constraint on affordability, reliability, and economic growth worldwide," said John Arnold, founder of Centaurus Capital. Chief executive officer Vishal Kapadia added: "The fastest, cheapest megawatts are the ones we've already built."
The signal: Grid-enhancing technologies are drawing capital as utilities look to squeeze more from existing infrastructure rather than wait years for new lines. With demand surging and build times long, software that unlocks hidden capacity is becoming a strategic layer of the modern power grid.
