Kraken Named Databricks ISV Energy and Utilities Partner of the Year

Databricks Data + AI Summit – 17 June 2026 – Kraken, the AI-powered operating system for utilities, today announced it has been named ISV Energy and Utilities Partner of the Year by Databricks, the Data and AI company.

Presented at the annual Data + AI Summit, the award recognizes an ISV partner whose technology platform or data solutions are transforming energy and utility workloads on Databricks, helping organizations modernize operations, scale and drive data-driven innovation across the industry.

Kraken was recognized for its significant role in delivering agentic AI for energy and utility companies – automating operations and driving efficiency across their full technology stack.

Kraken serves as a trusted System of Action, moving utilities away from fragmented legacy systems to combine data, intelligence and execution on a single platform. This enables utilities to accelerate adoption of agentic-AI to automate decision-making, orchestrate workflows, and reduce dependence on manual intervention.

Kraken processes more than 20 billion data points each day, unified on a single platform that powers end-to-end utility operations. Kraken leverages Databricks’ capabilities to extend this actionable data to clients, enabling them to build additional use cases on top of the Kraken platform.

By using the Databricks platform, including OpenSharing, Delta Lake, Databricks Lakehouse and Unity Catalog, Kraken has been able to reduce the client cost of data processing by 8x and securely share large volumes of data at low latency across complex, regulated environments.

“Kraken was built to help utilities serve customers better and operate with the intelligence required for a cleaner, more agile energy system,” said James Eddison, Co-founder and CTO at Kraken. “Databricks has been an important partner in helping us deliver on that mission, enabling our utility clients to build upon the rich operational data generated by the Kraken operating platform. Being named Databricks ISV Energy and Utilities Partner of the Year reflects the impact Kraken is delivering as utilities modernize operations, unlock trusted data and accelerate AI-driven innovation.”

“As the race to productionize AI accelerates, customers consistently ask us how they can better manage their data in order to build AI apps and agents that make a real impact on their business,” said Stephen Orban, SVP, Product Ecosystem & Partnerships at Databricks. “As a key Databricks partner, Kraken helps our joint customers do exactly that. We’re proud to recognize them as 2026 Databricks ISV Energy and Utilities Partner of the Year.”
