PowerUP

PowerUP is a pioneering clean‑tech platform that integrates IoT energy metering, cloud analytics, and pay‑as‑you‑go finance to transform household cooking in emerging markets. Focused on reducing reliance on harmful fuels like charcoal, its software works with smart electric cookers and induction stoves to track usage, manage payments, and quantify environmental impact. Designed and deployed across multiple African countries, PowerUP’s system captures real‑time data that drives carbon credit verification and empowers distributors to offer affordable solutions to low‑income families. Its cloud dashboard centralizes insights, while integrations with PAYG platforms and APIs expand functionality for stakeholders. Though the platform currently does not support a third‑party marketplace, its tailored feature set for clean cooking and localized UX make it highly relevant for its target users. With flexible finance options and region‑specific design, PowerUP not only saves money and time for households but also contributes to carbon markets and broader clean‑energy goals.
