About
Laki Power develops a line-mounted monitoring system with power-harvesting hardware for high-voltage power grids. The NATO Innovation Fund says the technology draws up to 300W directly from high-voltage lines, which lets operators detect ice buildup and wildfire risk, monitor the line and measure how much electricity it can safely carry.
The company was founded in Reykjavík in 2015 by Óskar Valtýsson and Ósvaldur Knudsen. Tech Funding News reports that it already has customers on four continents.
