Gaïascope’s mission
From the beginning, Gaïascope aimed to demonstrate that clean energy could be both sustainable and profitable – a vision that naturally aligns with ENGIE’s ambition. As co-founder & CEO Lauren Kuntz explains:
“The inspiration to start Gaïascope really just came from a desire to help accelerate the decarbonization of our electric grid.”
Gaïascope’s platform goes beyond traditional forecasting. By combining physical modeling, statistical rigor, and artificial intelligence, it can simulate hundreds of thousands of scenarios in the cloud, providing detailed insights into tomorrow’s electricity grid. This technology helps ENGIE optimize decisions and respond faster to market changes.
A strategic partnership
At ENGIE, our mission is clear: to decarbonize, digitize, and accelerate the energy transition. The acquisition of Gaïascope is part of this ambition. Founded with the vision of transforming how electricity is forecasted, optimized, and traded, Gaïascope brings unique technological expertise that strengthens ENGIE’s capabilities in both innovation and trading.
For Lauren Kuntz, joining ENGIE was an obvious choice:
“It was actually a really easy decision to join ENGIE because there was so much mission alignment. ENGIE really ticked all the boxes of having aggressive goals when it comes to decarbonizing their own asset base, decarbonizing on behalf of their clients.”
By combining Gaïascope’s cutting-edge technology with ENGIE’s asset base and global reach, the partnership can significantly accelerate its positive impact.

Integrating teams and culture
For ENGIE, the integration of Gaïascope was about more than technology – it was about people, culture, and shared ambition. Bringing together Gaïascope’s innovative platform with ENGIE’s global reach amplifies the potential to drive decarbonization and digital transformation across energy markets.
Three months after the acquisition, the ambition remains the same: to harness innovation to drive the energy transition and strengthen ENGIE’s digital transformation.
As Narsimha Misra, Chief Executive Officer of our Supply & Energy Management activities in North America concludes:
“Here we are at the beginning of a journey. A journey where ENGIE and Gaïascope together redefine what’s possible in energy markets and where the future isn’t something we wait for, it’s something we choose. And today we choose to lead.”
