Sense is leading the way to a brighter, greener future.

By transforming the relationship between people, homes and the grid.

Why Now?

Energy contributes to 70% of greenhouse emissions, making the energy grid an essential part of decarbonizing the world’s economy. But today’s grid isn’t flexible or smart enough. And it works as a one way street, keeping consumers in the dark without any concrete ways to help.

But The Solution Is Clear

We need to electrify everything and move to renewable resources. To truly gain the benefits of this electrification, we have to turn that one-way street into a two-way highway, where both sides are informed, empowered, and engaged.

This is Where Sense Comes in

We build the bridge between consumers and utilities by providing each with the intelligence they need.

Consumers and utilities with powerful insights to help them better manage energy in the home and on the grid.
