Energy Track
Killian Tobin is the CEO and co-founder of Omega Grid. Omega Grid helps utilities manage the influx of solar panels and electric vehicles on their grid by offering customers incentives to help balance the grid. Think batteries charging when there’s excess wind power, and businesses automatically drawing down power demand when electricity prices are high.

Killian has consulted or sold software to utilities for over 18 years. Before Omega Grid, he was responsible for energy platform sales at Oracle Utilities and business development at Uptake (the fastest growing startup of 2015 according to Forbes, beating Slack and Uber).
