Energy Infrastructure

600 million people
have no electricity.

Asso Mesh is a hardware and software platform that routes energy directly between neighbours. No grid, no internet, no utility company in the middle. One platform for two very different problems.

What is Asso Mesh?

Every house is a node. Every node can produce, store, and sell energy to its neighbours, automatically, at the firmware level, without relying on a central grid or internet connection. Routing, billing, and authentication happen on-device via HMAC-signed peer-to-peer transactions.

The same platform runs in two very different places: rural Sub-Saharan Africa, where 600 million people have never had access to electricity, and UK and EU utility networks, where 11.5p/kWh in energy spread goes unmonetised every day. Both problems have the same answer.

NGO / Development

Village Energy Mesh

An off-grid P2P microgrid for rural communities. Designed for Sub-Saharan Africa where 600 million people have no electricity access. Every node is a neighbour's generator.

Enterprise / B2B

Asso Enterprise

An intelligent energy routing layer for UK and EU utility providers. Captures the 11.5p/kWh spread between surplus generation and peak demand. Revenue that currently goes unmonetised.

The Platform

One codebase. Two deployments. Both built on the same firmware, protocol, and security model.

Hardware

ESP32 + LoRa 868MHz

Low-power, low-cost compute paired with long-range mesh radio. Operates at up to 5km node-to-node range without internet. Hardware BOM is open; firmware IP is ours.

Protocol

HMAC-Signed P2P Routing

All energy transactions are cryptographically authenticated at the firmware level. No trusted central node. No single point of failure. Tamper-evident audit trail on every device.

Integration

REST API + Webhooks

For enterprise deployments: full REST API, real-time webhooks, and white-label SDK. Plug into existing billing platforms, SCADA systems, and customer portals with a 10-week integration timeline.

Compliance

Ofgem & EU Directive 2019/944

Designed from the ground up for the regulatory environment of UK and EU energy markets. Full peer-to-peer trading is explicitly enabled under EU Directive 2019/944 and the UK Smart Export Guarantee.

Business Model

IP Transfer, Not SaaS

"Others rent. Asso transfers." Enterprise clients receive full intellectual property rights. One-time acquisition cost vs perpetual SaaS dependency. Full stack, fully yours.

Licensing

Three Tiers Available

Annual License for pilots and evaluation. Territory License for regional exclusivity. Full IP Transfer for enterprise acquisition. Structured to match the deployment scale and commitment level.
