What We Do

Corinex is a leading provider of digital grid reinforcement technology for LV and MV electricity distribution networks. The company unlocks the grid’s full capacity and resilience by providing the visibility and flexibility needed to manage congestion through the grid itself. Its platform functions as digital grid capacity infrastructure, enabling network operators and grid participants to expand usable hosting capacity, manage congestion, and integrate electrification with measurable operational outcomes using the grid that already exists. Broadband over power line (BPL) technology, combined with real-time grid sensing and control over existing conductors, allows Corinex to extend utility-grade connectivity to the grid edge. This secure and flexible connectivity layer links low-voltage and medium-voltage assets, helping utilities unlock hosting capacity, improve visibility, mitigate peaks, prevent overloads, monitor power quality, and support more responsive distribution system operation. The Corinex portfolio includes GridFlex™, Grid Visibility, GridMV, and GridValue™ software, supporting faster connections for low-carbon technologies, coordinated flexibility for dynamic loads and DERs, stronger reliability performance, and auditable operational indicators. Corinex is also active in promoting interoperability and open standards through key industry associations. Headquartered in Canada, with offices across Europe and Asia, Corinex helps utilities build more resilient, intelligent, and future-ready electricity grids.
