Our take

Uplight provides end-to-end technology solutions that aim to increase efficiency within energy ecosystems. The company's tech solutions consist of energy personalization systems to motivate customers to use energy more efficiently, in addition to energy reports, marketplaces, and other API microservices. They're currently working with more than 80 of the world’s leading electric and gas utilities.

Uplight’s software gives these utility companies granular data about how customers consume energy in their homes and businesses and offers ways to reduce their base power demand. They also offer a consumer marketplace for finding rebates and deals on energy-efficient appliances and electric vehicles.

The company has grown rapidly, reaching Unicorn status in 2021, despite only being founded two years previously. Uplight is entering its next phase of growth, focusing on significantly scaling its software solutions to further expand globally. It acquired Virtual Power Plant provider Autogrid in 2023 to embolden these aims.
