Greenely is a company that has created a new way of nudging households toward a smarter energy use through a mobile application without the need for hardware. The company was founded, as a result of a master thesis at the KTH, Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, on the basis that by making energy more easily understandable, we can encourage households to achieve energy savings and contribute to a better world.

Greenely provides households with access to their energy data through an advanced data collection system that connects to the home's existing smart electricity meters. The service is available free for iPhone and Android mobiles and currently has over 12,000 Swedish households in the platform.

FOR PEOPLE

Technology is for people, and Greenely is for people. That means that we are always on the customers' side, helping them navigate through the sometimes complex world of energy consumption, empowering them and guiding them -- always in a helpful and transparent way.

CHANGE

We know change can be hard, for everyone, but we value change and most of all we understand that there needs to be some serious change in order to help more to use less -- for our planet's sake.

SIMPLICITY

In everything we do, we strive for simplicity. When we end up with a complex solution or when a user does not understand us, we need to think again. When we communicate we think simplicity and when we plan, we think smartness and efficiency, finding the most uncomplicated way from A to B.

PLAYFUL

We go to work every day to save the planet, but we also go because we like to have fun. We think a good sense of humor and a mandatory company laugh (feel free to giggle) now and then is a must. We work with serious things, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. That is a big difference.
