WASHINGTON, DC – September 17, 2026 – Infrastructure Masons (“iMasons”) has accepted Zendo Energy into its Innovation Accelerator program. The decision reflects how Zendo’s platform addresses one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: power availability. Zendo is turning stranded power in colocation data centres into usable, monetizable capacity at a moment when compute demand and AI workloads continue to accelerate.
Zendo helps data centre operators get more value from every watt in their facility. Its Energy OS connects operational data, energy market intelligence, and load forecasting to identify stranded capacity in existing infrastructure that can be safely sold today.
The Accelerator arrives at a pivotal moment for Zendo as it scales its live customer base and builds towards real-time orchestration – helping colocation operators meet the growing demand from AI and neoclouds. Zendo is developing the intelligence layer to translate capacity, load, and grid signals – such as carbon intensity and wholesale pricing – into actionable workload placement decisions, helping operators move from passive grid takers to active grid participants.
The company is looking to accelerate development of the Energy OS platform and get direct feedback from data center operators that can sharpen its product, positioning, and use cases. Zendo is especially interested in connecting with colocation operators, neocloud and GPU-as-a-service providers, DCIM providers, and mentors with deep expertise in capacity planning and cloud workload orchestration.
For iMasons, Zendo adds a capacity- and energy-focused perspective to a cohort that has largely been thinking about power in physical terms. As AI demand continues to outpace new grid connections, tools that help operators extract more value and more capacity from the power they already have are becoming just as important as new supply. Zendo’s addition extends the Accelerator’s reach into energy optimization and gives the iMasons network a direct line into how software, not just infrastructure, can help solve the industry’s power constraints.
“Zendo helps colocation data centers unlock the power they can safely sell, so they can meet surging AI demand without waiting years for new grid connections or planning to get approved. It’s exactly the kind of industry-wide challenge iMasons brings people together to solve. Our Energy OS platform uses intelligent energy management and capacity optimisation to turn stranded capacity into revenue, without the guesswork. We’re excited to be part of the Innovation Accelerator program and look forward to real-world feedback from operators to help shape our product roadmap,” said Jade Batstone, Co-Founder & CEO, Zendo.
“Zendo is tackling AI infrastructure’s power problem from an angle we don’t see often: not building new capacity, but helping operators get more out of the capacity they already have,” said Romain Tranchant, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Innovation Exchange at Infrastructure Masons. “That’s a real gap as AI demand keeps outrunning grid connections. We’re glad to welcome Zendo into the Accelerator and help connect them with the colocation operators, neocloud and GPU-as-a-service providers, and energy procurement experts who can pressure-test the Energy OS platform.”
