About
Tristan Agur is the founder and CEO of Volton, an energy-technology company building the software layer for the Baltic power grid. He started Volton on a simple conviction: energy has become a software problem, and the winners will be ecosystems, not isolated apps.
Under his leadership, Volton connects batteries, solar parks and industrial loads to the day-ahead, intraday and frequency-reserve markets, trading and dispatching them automatically so that asset owners earn more from the flexibility they already have. Volton operates as a licensed Balance Responsible Party (BRP) and Balance Service Provider (BSP) in Estonia and Latvia.
What I'm working on
Today my focus is turning distributed energy assets into a single, intelligent fleet — a platform that makes taking part in modern power markets as simple as installing an app. The goal is a grid that runs on software: faster, cleaner and more profitable for everyone connected to it.
The grid of the future runs on code, not paperwork — and we're approaching it from the renewable energy side.
