About
Our Story
Gigaflow believes that rapidly building renewable energy capacity is the best way to achieve our carbon-free goals. Distribution-connected resources such as solar, storage and EV charging are a crucial part of this rapid energy transition, but development is being slowed by the opaque and difficult-to-predict utility interconnection process
Nationally, 75% of distributed MWs submitted for interconnection never sign an agreement. In active markets, withdrawal rates are worse - in National Grid (NY), 90% of MWs submitted in 2023 were withdrawn, a 40% increase from 2020
Gigaflow was built to tackle the interconnection challenge for mid-market (100 kW - 10 MW) distribution-connected projects

Founder & CEO
Samantha has 15 years of experience in both industry and investing, including 10 years in software and 5 in distributed energy
At Blueprint Power, Samantha experienced firsthand the challenges of building distributed energy projects. In conversations with developers, she heard repeatedly that the interconnection process is the main barrier to more rapidly expanding clean energy capacity
Recognizing the potential for software and automated modeling to address this challenge, she started building Gigaflow to bring those tools to developers
