NeedEnergy (Techstars'23) - Company Profile

NeedEnergy (Techstars'23)

Slogan: Increasing Clean Energy Access in Africa and Beyond Through AI

Description: 800 million people do not have access to electricity, with 600 million+ of those residing in Sub-Saharan Africa. NeedEnergy is an energy-tech start-up that is leveraging modern data science techniques to encourage the uptake of solar PV systems and clean energy in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.

NeedEnergy through its memeza.ai platform pulls, scrapes, requests, and collects data from across the IoT devices like gas smart meters and electricity smart meters/monitors to profile the energy needs of the distribution grid. We train our models with this data to create opportunities at which we deploy renewable energy generation assets to cater to this need. After deployment, our platform monitors and manages these assets so as to guarantee the power and performance of the installed assets.
