Residential energy use accounts for about 20% of greenhouse emissions in the U.S., making it one of the most important sectors to decarbonize. As the world electrifies and consumers become more climate-conscious, energy will become one of the next consumer engagement frontiers. This month’s Watt It Takes guest is Naman Trivedi, Co-Founder & CEO of WattBuy. The WattBuy platform connects clean energy providers with residential customers, helps consumers save money on their energy bills, and help companies engage customers with insights and provide enhanced offerings and services. The company has raised $15M, announced partnerships with brands such as Redfin, State Farm, and Rent. (fka Rent.com), and generated 20 gigawatt hours of renewable energy for homeowners and renters. I spoke to Naman about his journey, from his childhood in Silicon Valley, to skipping classes at Georgetown University so he could work in the White House, to founding WattBuy and building the platform responsible for helping homeowners and renters save upwards of $4M on their energy bills.
