Ukraine Smart Energy Network

We are building a distributed energy network in Ukraine based on portable power stations connected to an IoT platform.
We import stations directly from manufacturers at low cost and integrate them into a unified system for real-time monitoring, centralized control, and predictive maintenance.
The solution targets businesses, government institutions, and NGOs that require reliable power during ongoing energy instability.
The project starts with a pilot in Brovary and scales to 3,000+ units across Ukraine

MVP IoT system developed (BLE data decoding and live monitoring)
Direct factory supply chain established (~$500/unit)
Pilot location in Brovary (Kyiv region)
Target: 2,500–3,000 units within 12 months
Gross margin: 45–50%

Target customers:
Government institutions (hospitals, schools, municipalities)
NGOs and humanitarian organizations
Small and medium-sized businesses (retail, logistics, services)
Market opportunity:
Ukraine has a large and growing demand for portable power solutions due to ongoing energy instability.
Thousands of power stations are already deployed, but there is no centralized system for monitoring and managing them.
Our solution targets both new deployments and existing installed base, enabling scalable growth across Ukraine.

Ukraine faces ongoing energy instability, creating strong demand for portable power solutions across government, NGOs, and businesses.
However, existing power stations are standalone devices without monitoring or centralized control, leading to inefficiency, lack of visibility, and high operational costs.
This creates a large opportunity for a unified system to manage distributed energy assets

We provide a hardware + IoT solution that transforms portable power stations into a connected energy network.
Using our IoT gateway and cloud platform, users can monitor battery levels, control devices, and manage multiple units in real time.
The system enables predictive maintenance, reduces operational costs, and allows scaling to thousands of devices across Ukr

Competitors:
Hardware brands: EcoFlow, Bluetti, Jackery
Local distributors and resellers in Ukraine
Limitations of existing solutions:
Devices are standalone with no centralized control
No cross-brand monitoring platform
No fleet management or predictive maintenance
Our advantage:
Direct factory supply → lower cost and higher margins
IoT platform enabling centralized control and monitoring
Scalable solution for managing thousands of devices
Combination of hardware + software (not just reselling)

Direct factory supply (~$500/unit) enabling 45–50% gross margin
Combination of hardware + IoT platform (not just reselling devices)
Centralized monitoring and control of multiple power stations
Scalable system for managing thousands of distributed energy units
Platform approach: starting with Pecron, expanding to additional brands
Early-stage MVP with working data collection and monitoring
Strong market timing due to ongoing energy instability in Ukraine

Revenue streams:
Hardware sales (portable power stations) with 45–50% gross margin
Future SaaS revenue from the IoT platform (subscription-based monitoring and analytics)
Cost structure:
Inventory procurement (primary cost)
Logistics and delivery
IoT platform development
Operating expenses (warehouse, team, service)
The model is hardware-driven in the short term, with a transition to recurring SaaS revenue at scale.

Business model:
Hardware sales with 45–50% gross margin (portable power stations)
Transition to SaaS model with recurring revenue from IoT platform
Sales channels:
Direct B2B sales (companies, logistics, retail)
B2G contracts (municipalities, hospitals, public sector)
Partnerships with NGOs and humanitarian organizations
Online sales (marketplaces and direct distribution)
Key metrics:
Unit economics: $500 cost → $1,100–1,250 selling price
Gross margin: 45–50%
Target volume: 2,500–3,000 units (12 months)
Revenue: $2.2M – $3.5M
Net profit: $440K – $900K
Expansion to recurring SaaS revenue model

80% — Inventory закупка (4–5 containers / 2,000–3,000 units)
10% — IoT platform development & R&D
10% — Operations & logistics (warehouse, team, service setup)
Funds will be used to scale hardware deployment and build a proprietary IoT layer for energy asset management.

Seeking $1.7M for 20% equity (Pre-money valuation: $8.5M).
Projected 12-month revenue: $2.2M – $2.8M
Net profit: $440K – $610K (20–23% margin)
Target exit in 3–5 years: $15M – $20M valuation
Investor return: 2x–3x potential

Dependence on hardware supply chain and manufacturing partners
Early-stage product (MVP), requiring further development and scaling
Need to validate large-scale deployment and customer acquisition
Market competition from established hardware brands
Operational risks related to logistics and inventory management
Mitigation strategy:
Diversifying suppliers over time
Focusing on software (IoT platform) as long-term competitive advantage
Starting with pilot deployment before full-scale expansion

Currently not part of an accelerator program.
Actively preparing for participation in energy, IoT, and startup acceleration programs in Ukraine and EU (EBRD, EU innovation funds, energy-focused accelerators).

No formal awards yet.
Project is currently at MVP stage with focus on real deployment and market validation.
