Company Overview

About Uplight

Uplight is a clean energy technology company providing SaaS software to utilities — demand response programs, energy efficiency analytics, behavioral energy programs, and electric vehicle managed charging — helping utility customers reduce peak demand, manage grid load, and transition to clean energy. Founded through the merger of multiple utility software companies (Tendril, EnergySavvy, Bidgee, and others) under Uplight in 2019, the company is backed by Schneider Electric (which holds a minority stake) and private equity and serves approximately 80 utilities globally.

Business Model & Competitive Advantage

Uplight's platform connects utilities with their customers to manage the "distributed energy" opportunity — the growing proliferation of solar panels, battery storage, smart thermostats, EVs, and smart appliances in homes that represent both grid management challenges and grid flexibility resources. Uplight's software enables utilities to communicate with customers about energy-saving opportunities, automatically enroll customers in demand response programs, and manage EV charging to avoid overloading the grid during peak hours.

Competitive Landscape 2025–2026

In 2025, Uplight is positioned at the center of the energy transition technology stack for utilities — as EVs, heat pumps, and rooftop solar proliferate, utilities need sophisticated software to manage two-way energy flows and distributed flexible load. The company competes with Oracle Utilities, Itron, and smaller demand response platforms for utility customer engagement and grid management software. Uplight's 2025 strategy focuses on EV managed charging programs (coordinating when EVs charge to minimize grid impact), virtual power plant software (aggregating distributed battery and EV resources into grid services), and deepening its behavioral energy program capabilities.
