Powerhive

Powerhive is a technology venture founded in 2011 that partners with utilities and independent power producers to provide access to productive, affordable and reliable mini-grid electricity for millions of rural homes and businesses around the globe. Our proprietary technology platform and business model enables the financing, monetization, and management of off-grid utility solutions. We are headquartered in Berkeley, CA. Powerhive’s technology platform enables financing and monetization of distributed microgrids by reducing costs and stabilizing investment risk. Our cloud-based software application and proprietary smart meter automate account management tasks, remotely monitor and control microgrid operations and run real-time data analytics. Powerhive’s solution allows customers to prepay for electricity through mobile money networks and gain access to an affordable electricity supply that can power small appliances and income generating equipment in addition to lights and mobile phone chargers. Powerhive equips investors, project developers, and electricity providers with the tools necessary to deploy sustainable off-grid energy solutions in communities far beyond the reach of grid infrastructure.
