This collaboration allows utilities to move from strategy to deployment with confidence, supported by scalable digital solutions and nearshore delivery.
Showcasing Grid Resilience with DAKAR
At E-world 2026, ELEKS will also showcase DAKAR, its full-suite grid simulation and analysis software used by over 20 power system operators across Eastern Europe.
Designed for large-scale networks, DAKAR supports:
- Power flow analysis for fast, accurate load-flow calculations
- Power stability analysis to monitor system frequency, voltage, and electromechanical transients
- Automated grid simulations for operational efficiency and cost-effective planning
In addition to the platform, ELEKS provides DAKAR consultancy services, drawing on real-world experience gained while supporting grid stability in Ukraine under extreme conditions. These services include grid resilience assessments, grid connection studies, and wargame simulations to prepare operators for cyberattacks, physical threats, extreme weather, and cascading failures.
Full-Cycle Software Engineering and AI for Energy
ELEKS and inno2grid offer full-cycle software engineering services for the energy sector — from consulting and strategy to development, modernisation, cloud migration, and ongoing support. The company also delivers AI consulting and end-to-end AI solution development, helping energy organisations apply data-driven forecasting, asset health monitoring, load management, and advanced analytics at scale.

The breadth of knowledge and understanding that ELEKS has within its walls allows us to leverage that expertise to make superior deliverables for our customers. When you work with ELEKS, you are working with the top 1% of the aptitude and engineering excellence of the whole country.
Right from the start, we really liked ELEKS’ commitment and engagement. They came to us with their best people to try to understand our context, our business idea, and developed the first prototype with us. They were very professional and very customer oriented. I think, without ELEKS it probably would not have been possible to have such a successful product in such a short period of time.
