THE PURPOSE OF ELECTRONVIBE

The Gap

ElectronVibe - The Bridge

An open-innovation program for electric utilities, via which a cohort of mature power-sector startups co-develop business-cases for scalable technological innovations, with the aim of implementing pilot-projects as a precursor to larger deployment

Value Proposition

Addressing key needs highlighted by discoms via:

Consultative approach

Collaborating with stakeholders to deeply understand their challenges

Roundtable discussion

Convene multiple utilties to zero down on specific challenges and define common needs.

Problem Statement

As an outcome of the roundtable discussion, well-defined problem statement(s) on which we do a global open call for applications from deployment ready startups.

High quality business cases built by deployment ready startups that include:

Customer Value Proposition

Clearly defines the unique, quantifiable value a startup’s solution delivers to utilities.

Cost-Benefit Analysis

A clear cost benefit analysis to show a startup solution’s financial impact quantifying operational savings and efficiency gains for utilities.

Pilot plan

Outlines success criteria, duration, and a clear deployment pathway based on a baseline scenario.

Accelerating AI Adoption in the Power Sector

AI Potential in the power sector

AI is becoming central to how we drive decarbonisation, resilience, and equitable access to power. With the potential to reduce emissions by up to 40% from business-as-usual scenarios (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab), AI can help power companies in the Global South better integrate renewables, expand their grids, and improve service delivery.

The Reality

Despite this potential, most utilities in these regions lack AI in their change management strategies and have limited engagement with digital technologies. At the same time, many AI solutions exist—but face adoption barriers due to limited utility-startup engagement.

What We’re Doing

At ElectronVibe, we are actively bringing more AI-focused startup solutions into the program and enabling pilot projects with electric utilities.
