The Bice Energy Platform

The digital operating system
for modern electricity networks.

Our own IoT smart meters, secure MQTT communication, cloud infrastructure, remote meter management, billing intelligence and customer apps — one connected platform, built from the ground up.

We don't bolt onto legacy meters and patch over old systems. We replace them. Bice Energy provides its own smart meters and the connected digital layer that runs them — so utilities finally get real-time visibility, and customers get real control.

The problem we solve

Distribution is stuck in the dark.

Across many emerging markets, electricity distribution is held back by limited visibility, manual processes and revenue loss. Utilities can't see what's happening at the customer edge — and customers can't see, control or easily pay for what they use.

Poor network visibility Manual meter reading Revenue leakage Delayed fault response Limited customer engagement

Who it's for

Built for everyone running the network.

Distribution Companies

Get real-time visibility right to the customer edge. Manage meters remotely, protect revenue and cut commercial losses across your whole network from one place.

Electricity Resellers

Launch and manage retail energy offerings with white-label billing, customer onboarding and pay-as-you-go support out of the box.

Energy Traders

Trade, settle and reconcile with live market data, automated settlement and a clear audit trail across every transaction.

How it works

From the meter on the wall to the head-end in the cloud.

Smart meter

Our IoT meters act as intelligent edge devices — once powered, they auto-connect and publish usage, status, outage and tamper data.

MQTT

Bice cloud & Head-End System

The HES ingests data securely over MQTT, sends approved commands back to meters, and runs analytics, billing intelligence and remote management.

Open APIs

Utilities & customers

DisCos connect their MDMS, billing and operations teams through open interfaces; customers top up and monitor through the app and web portal.

Consumption & status Outage & tamper events Credit & top-ups Remote commands
Traditional prepaid token model Fully digital, IoT-native energy management Top up via app or web while the platform updates the meter securely over MQTT — with optional UIU keypad support for customers without digital access, so no one is left behind.

One platform, everything a meter network needs.

About Bice Energy

Driven by purpose.
Defined by integrity.

Bice Energy exists to make clean, reliable energy genuinely accessible — by removing the biggest barrier to going solar: the upfront cost. We finance, deploy and manage solar infrastructure so homes get power, investors get returns, and the grid gets smarter.

We combine real engineering with intelligent software. From our own IoT smart meters to the cloud Head-End System that runs them, we build the digital operating system for modern electricity networks — and we stand beside our partners from first install to long-term optimisation.

Our Mission
"To make clean, reliable energy accessible to everyone through technology that is affordable, transparent and built to last."
Our Vision
"A world where energy systems are smarter, more efficient and accessible to all — where technology and sustainability power a brighter tomorrow."

Trust is our foundation. We operate with transparency and accountability, building long-term partnerships based on respect and results.

Sustainability at heart

From greener power to smarter use, sustainability guides our decisions. The future of energy must be efficient and responsible.

Partnership approach

We work alongside homeowners, investors and operators — not just as a vendor, but as a long-term energy partner.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Is the solar installation really free?
Beyond a one-time application fee, yes — the complete solar package and its installation are free to you. You don't pay for the panels, battery, meter or fitting. After installation, you simply top up your pay-as-you-go meter and pay for the clean energy you use. The application fee and tariffs are confirmed before any work begins, following a site assessment.
How does pay-as-you-go work?
Your system includes our own IoT smart meter. You top it up through the app or web — like topping up a phone — and the platform updates your meter securely over the air. You only ever pay for the power you use, with no large fixed bills, and you can see your balance and usage any time. For anyone without easy digital access, optional keypad (UIU) top-up support is available too.
As an investor, how and when do I get paid?
Your capital funds solar deployments to homes. As those households pay for the energy they use, revenue is generated and distributed to investors as monthly or quarterly payouts. You can track capital deployed, homes funded, payouts and overall performance live in your investor portal. Returns are not guaranteed and your capital is at risk — please see the disclaimer in the investor section and seek independent advice.
Who maintains the solar systems?
We do. Bice Energy manages every system end-to-end — installation, monitoring, servicing and repairs. Homeowners and investors stay hands-off; keeping the infrastructure performing is our job.
Do we have to keep our old meters?
No — and that's the point. Rather than wrestling with legacy meters and the headaches they bring, Bice Energy deploys its own IoT smart meters as intelligent edge devices. They connect straight to our cloud platform, so you move to a fully digital, IoT-native network instead of patching over old hardware.
How does the platform connect to our existing software?
At the software level, the platform exposes open interfaces so distribution companies can connect their MDMS, billing platforms and operations teams cleanly. The meters and communication layer are ours and IoT-native; the integration points are your business systems, through open APIs — not legacy meter hardware.

Whoever you are, there's a way in.
