Uplight
Uplight is a Boulder, Colorado energy technology company formed in 2019 from the merger of Tendril and Simple Energy and expanded through the acquisitions of EnergySavvy, FirstFuel, Ecotagious, EEme, and DERMS/VPP provider AutoGrid (closed February 2024). It sells software to electric and gas utilities and retailers in North America, Europe, and Asia rather than to consumers, covering energy efficiency and electrification marketplaces, home energy reports, rate engagement, demand response, distributed energy resource management (DERMS), virtual power plants, and a utility data lake with analytics. In the United States value chain Uplight sits on the utility side of the meter as a vendor and orchestration layer between the utility, its customers, and connected devices, and it publicly states support for OpenADR, IEEE 2030.5, Modbus, DNP3 and other SCADA protocols for DER control. Its API posture is honestly closed — a Developer Platform exists and is marketed to utilities and ecosystem partners, the documentation portal at docs.uplight.com serves a public landing shell but every Documentation and API Reference path redirects to a ReadMe login, and the production gateway at api.uplight.com answers anonymously only with HTTP 401 and a bearer-token error. No consumer usage-data API, no open market data, no downloadable OpenAPI, and no Green Button or ESPI reference could be found. Uplight is a software vendor, not a regulated data holder, so no consumer data mandate applies to it.
Uplight is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Uplight is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
