description: 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.

  name: Uplight Developer Platform API
  description: Uplight markets a Developer Platform that exposes customer, program, eligibility, enrollment, device, and energy-flexibility
    data to utilities and ecosystem partners through APIs. The reference is published on a ReadMe portal at docs.uplight.com,
    but the /developer path 302-redirects to dash.readme.com login, so no operation, schema, scope, or rate limit is publicly
    readable. The production gateway at api.uplight.com is real and reachable (Kong Enterprise 3.10) but returns HTTP 401
    with an "Invalid or no token provided" error to every anonymous request, including /openapi.json, /swagger.json, /v1,
    and /.well-known/openid-configuration. Listed here as a real but fully gated surface; no endpoints are claimed because
    none are documented publicly.
