PROFILE PLENTIFY
Solving load shedding with AI
KAILAS NAIR AND JON KORNIK
Plentify is on a mission to make South Africa’ s energy smarter and more sustainable. Co-founders Jon Kornik and Kailas Nair explain how their tech-driven solutions are reshaping the way homes and communities manage power.
At the heart of South Africa’ s energy future is a company quietly transforming the way power flows through homes and communities. Co-founded by Jon Kornik and Kailas Nair, Plentify is shifting the narrative on energy access, cost, and reliability in a country in crisis.
The idea behind Plentify is deceptively simple: connect ordinary appliances like water heaters to intelligent systems that automatically shift their energy usage to cheaper, cleaner times of day. In practice, it’ s a complex balancing act of data, demand and behavioural insights solved through advanced technology and bold thinking.
The biggest impact happens when we focus on making energy smarter for everyone.
