The Crisis

Pakistan's Electricity Crisis

Every Pakistani household faces these four problems daily. PakGrid AI solves all of them automatically.

Peak-Hour Tariff Pain

PKR 55–60/unit during peak hours. AC running at 7 PM costs 4× more than at 2 AM.

Load-Shedding Uncertainty

Unpredictable blackouts drain battery backup and leave families in the dark.

AC & Pump Timing Waste

Water pumps and ACs running during expensive windows waste thousands monthly.

Phantom Load Waste

TV standby, chargers, idle adapters silently eat 10–15% of your bill while you sleep.

The Loop

How PakGrid AI Works

SENSE

Monitor real-time power usage from every appliance

PREDICT

Forecast blackouts, peak tariffs, and occupancy patterns

DECIDE

AI selects optimal action for each appliance

ACT

Automatically shift loads, dim ACs, kill phantom power

SAVE

Measure savings in real PKR — 20–30% bill reduction

Virtual Power Plant Logic

Built like a real product, not just a dashboard.

PakGrid AI combines tariff intelligence, occupancy learning, outage prediction, and relay-level appliance control. The result is an autonomous loop that can explain each decision and quantify ROI instantly.
