GridLiance is an independent electric transmission company. Formed in 2014 by industry veterans, GridLiance is a portfolio of the Blackstone Group, a leading energy infrastructure investor. GridLiance’s business model is to partner with municipalities, public power agencies and electric cooperatives (Public Power) to increase system reliability and lower costs. GridLiance’s differentiated operating model provides its Public Power partners with new opportunities to invest in regulated transmission projects or rely on GridLiance to plan and construct transmission for their benefit.
