UtilityAPI is a mission-driven company. And that mission is fighting climate change. Likewise for WeRenew, a platform that uses UtilityAPI data to include more people in this work.

We just needed to get the policies worked out to fix it. Fast forward to now. Spoiler alert: not fixed.  Good people are still worki ..read more
