About Gram Power

Gram Power is an energy technology company founded out of Berkeley, California. We have developed disruptive smart grid technology to radically changing the way electricity is supplied to and consumed by users. Our technology enables rural and urban consumers to get access to reliable and clean energy, control and optimize their electricity expenses using their phones, pay for power just like they purchase recharge coupons for cell phones and interact with their power distribution companies like never before. The technology also helps eliminate theft, pilferage or non-payment of power bills. Our work has resulted in us designing the lowest cost smart meter in the world, the most advanced power distribution management technology and a smart microgrid solution for energy access in remote areas. The company's technology was also selected by NASA among the top 10 cleantech innovations around the world.

We have so far brought smart grids to 30 remote areas in rural India through our Smart Microgrid solution. We are now bringing our technology to the national grid by managing power distribution with our technology for India's biggest private power distribution company. Also, Gram Power is launching in Africa to bring energy to 1 million families. With strong funders from Europe and Silicon Valley, we are now bringing the benefits of our intelligent energy technology to rural and urban regions worldwide
