Autarsys Smart Metering

Designed for rural microgrids to electrify Africa — our mission

Affordable smart metering built for reliable service in rural regions.

A cloud-native platform plus resilient field hardware that lets microgrid operators manage billing, payments, and compliance—even with unstable connectivity.

Seeking strategic investors for hardware scale-up and pilot rollout.

Problem

Affordable metering is missing where electrification needs it most.

Rural Africa and other developing regions need low-cost, reliable metering to enable fair tariffs and unlock the rollout potential highlighted below.

High metering costs and vendor lock-in slow rollout in low-income regions.

Delayed sync and missing data undermine billing accuracy and trust.

Manual reporting limits compliance and financing for new sites.

Affordability gap

Operators need low-cost metering to keep tariffs fair for consumers.

Revenue stability

Prepaid and hybrid billing protect cash flow while keeping energy affordable.

Electrification momentum

Reliable metering accelerates renewable adoption and grid expansion.

Why now

Huge unmet demand makes affordable metering urgent.

The same affordability gap in the problem section translates into massive rollout potential today.

About 33.7% of Madagascar has electricity access; over 18 million people remain without power in Madagascar alone

Electricity is delivered through grid, mini-grids and off-grid solar; off-grid solutions serve a large share of households

Affordable metering enables fair tariffs for households and predictable revenue for operators

World Bank estimates ~33.7% electricity access and ~18 million people without power in Madagascar (2020)

Battery storage project costs fell ~89% between 2010 and 2023

Renewables are now the least-cost option for new power; solar PV and onshore wind are well below fossil alternatives

Solution

Our Solution

Autarsys pairs resilient meters with a cloud-native system to manage billing, payments, and analytics at scale.

Software

Hardware-agnostic integration—no vendor lock-in.

Scales from tens to thousands of endpoints with role-based access (Admin, Operator, Technician, Vendor, Consumer).

Billing flexibility: prepaid, postpaid, hybrid; taxes, tiers, time-of-use, dynamic pricing, feed-in credits.

Payments: mobile money, USSD/web/app top-ups, local integrations, open APIs.

Reporting & compliance: automated templates, CSV/PDF/API export, audit trails, and energy access reporting (e.g., Odyssey/SDG7).

Hardware

Single- and three-phase meters with remote connect/disconnect.

Mesh to master gateway with self-healing topology.

Local buffering and resilient sync to survive outages.

Estimated endpoint hardware cost: under $30 (target BOM).

AI & Analytics

Fraud detection live today with anomaly alerts.

Opt-in dynamic pricing recommendations live today.

Roadmap: load forecasting, battery health, predictive maintenance, outage prediction, revenue leakage detection, consumer insights.

Use-cases

Designed for Madagascar and similar rural & remote grids.

From island microgrids to regional utilities, Autarsys handles fragmented networks with ease.

Madagascar pilot

Village-level microgrids with prepaid energy and intermittent connectivity.

Rural cooperatives

Multi-site operators needing consistent reporting and remote service.

Remote industrial sites

Mining and agritech outposts with limited bandwidth and high uptime needs.

Funding ask

Field test underway — join the rollout.

We are validating the system in Tanandava: ~60 of 400 meters already deployed. We are raising funds to complete the pilot and expand to new sites.

Be part of the journey to market — from field validation to scaled deployments across rural Africa.

Use of funds

Pilot completion in Tanandava, field ops, and incremental hardware development.

Milestones

Full 400-meter rollout, validated billing workflows, and operator-grade reporting.

Governance

Transparent reporting, on-site validation, and shared rollout KPIs.
