Company Summary

Open Utility is a digital pioneer in one of the last industries to be disrupted by real-time data and genuine end-user control. We are transforming the energy sector with our peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling renewable energy. Instead of trusting energy companies to act in their best interest, consumers will be able to buy their energy directly from independent renewable generators.
