Power every kilowatt. Waste nothing.
Every kilowatt stolen, wasted, or unmonitored is money leaving the grid. AdvaIoT gives energy providers and large consumers the real-time visibility to stop losses before they compound.

What's broken in Energy & Utilities today
Africa's energy sector loses an estimated 20–30% of all electricity generated to technical and non-technical losses — grid theft, billing fraud, meter tampering, and ageing infrastructure that nobody is watching. Utilities spend enormous sums on manual meter readings that are inaccurate, delayed, and easily manipulated. Distribution companies can't pinpoint where transformers are overloaded until they blow.
For large energy consumers — factories, hotels, data centres, and office parks — the challenge is different but equally costly. Energy bills arrive a month late with no granular breakdown. Nobody knows which equipment is the biggest draw. Sustainability reporting requires data that nobody collected. Solar installations run without monitoring, and battery storage systems degrade silently until they fail.
AdvaIoT's smart energy platform connects smart meters, substation sensors, solar SCADA systems, and battery monitors into a single operational intelligence layer. Utilities gain real-time visibility into grid load, fault detection within minutes rather than hours, and automatic billing data that eliminates manual reading routes.
Large commercial and industrial energy consumers get granular equipment-level consumption data that identifies waste, schedules high-draw equipment during off-peak tariff windows, and generates ESG-ready carbon footprint reports. Solar generation is matched against consumption in real time, and battery storage is optimised automatically to minimise grid import costs.
Turning energy & utilities data into decisions
- Smart metering and energy consumption analytics
- Solar generation and battery storage monitoring
- Grid fault detection and outage management
- Carbon footprint tracking and ESG reporting
Capabilities
Purpose-built IoT solutions for energy & utilities operations across Africa.
Smart Meter Infrastructure
AMI-compliant smart meters with tamper detection, remote disconnect, and interval metering. Billing data collected automatically — no manual reading routes.
Solar SCADA Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of solar PV generation, battery state-of-charge, inverter performance, and grid export/import. Fault alerts dispatched to maintenance teams automatically.
Grid Fault Detection
Substation and feeder monitoring that detects overloads, voltage sags, and transformer faults in real time. Maintenance teams dispatched before customers lose power.
Energy Analytics & Reporting
Equipment-level consumption breakdown, cost-per-department reporting, peak demand identification, and month-on-month trend analysis in a single dashboard.
Carbon & ESG Reporting
Automatic carbon footprint calculation from meter data, mapped to GHG Protocol Scope 1 and 2. Export-ready ESG reports for investors, auditors, and sustainability disclosures.
Battery Storage Optimisation
Automated charge/discharge scheduling for battery storage systems. Charge during off-peak tariff windows, discharge during peak to minimise grid import costs.
Theft & Fraud Detection
Meter tampering alerts, consumption anomaly detection, and cross-reference between meter reads and feeder-level generation to identify non-technical losses.
Demand Response Management
Automated load shedding and demand response protocols that protect critical loads while reducing peak demand charges. Integrates with building management systems.
How it works in the field
Utility Non-Technical Loss Reduction
The Situation
A power distribution company was losing 24% of distributed energy to non-technical losses — meter tampering and illegal bypass connections — across a 12,000-customer district. Revenue collection was 72% of billing.
The Outcome
Smart AMI meters with tamper alerts and consumption profiling reduced non-technical losses to 6% within 12 months. Revenue collection improved to 96%, and the investment paid back within 18 months from recovered revenue alone.
Hotel Solar + Battery Optimisation
The Situation
A 200-room Nairobi hotel had a solar installation generating electricity but no monitoring system. They couldn't tell how much was being generated, whether inverters were healthy, or how to schedule high-load laundry and kitchen equipment to maximise solar use.
The Outcome
Solar SCADA monitoring and demand scheduling reduced grid import by 43%. Inverter faults were detected and resolved before causing system downtime. Annual electricity bill reduced by 38%.
Factory ESG Compliance
The Situation
A manufacturing plant needed to produce verified carbon emissions data for an international supply chain audit. They had no sub-metering, no baseline, and the audit was in 90 days.
The Outcome
AdvaIoT deployed energy sub-meters across all production lines and utility feeds in 3 weeks. Carbon reporting aligned to GHG Protocol Scope 1 and 2 was ready in time for the audit and became the foundation of the plant's annual ESG disclosure.
How we deploy
Energy Audit
We review your current metering infrastructure, billing data, and consumption patterns. Our engineers identify the highest-value monitoring points and propose the right meter and sensor configuration.
Meter & Sensor Deployment
Certified electricians install smart meters, substation sensors, and solar monitoring hardware. All work is completed to IEC standards with full commissioning documentation.
Platform Integration
Energy data flows into your AdvaIoT dashboard with custom alerts, billing reports, and carbon calculations configured to your tariff structure and reporting requirements.
Optimisation & Reporting
Monthly energy reviews with our team identify new savings opportunities. ESG reports are generated automatically each quarter. Battery storage schedules are updated seasonally.
Proof in the field
A power distribution company serving 45,000 customers in Central Kenya
Challenge: Non-technical losses of 22% were costing the utility millions monthly. Manual meter reading was inaccurate, and the utility had no way to identify which customers had tampered connections.
Result: A phased rollout of 12,000 smart meters with tamper alerts and automated billing reduced NTL from 22% to 7% within 18 months. Manual reading costs were eliminated, and revenue collection improved by 30%.
