Solving high-value problems for energy companies

SteamaCo: the complete IoT smart metering platform

SteamaCo is an Anglo-African IoT smart metering technology company with operations in Sub-Saharan Africa.

We exist to solve the highest-value challenges for energy companies in both the grid and the off-grid sectors.

For the grid sector

We offer the industry’s premier AI-driven ATC&C loss prevention technology, and we co-create with pioneering distribution utilities to help you detect theft, resolve it fast and meet regulatory losses targets.

How we got to where we are today

SteamaCo started in 2012 as an Africa-based mini grid developer. There were challenges out in the field, and we became a technology company to overcome them.

First, we built a smart meter and an IoT automation platform, using data to solve the off-grid connectivity and pay-to-power challenges. Then, we found that mini grid developers across Africa faced those exact same challenges.

With venture backing, we launched the world’s lowest data-usage smart meter and DCU (data concentrator unit) to keep power uptime high, data costs low, with a pay-to-power time of as little as three minutes.

Over the years, we’ve grown, and we’ve added great people to the business so that we can work in close partnership with our customers, making sure that they achieve success. It’s why we’re the dominant mini grid technology provider, serving utilities in sixteen countries.

Meanwhile, we’re co-creating the new future of African energy, working with pioneering distribution grid utilities to solve their highest value problem: detecting theft so that they can resolve it fast.
