🌿 GreenGrid AI

AI-powered neighborhood energy orchestration for equitable, sustainable power in Missouri

📌 Problem

Missouri's suburban and urban neighborhoods face high utility costs, aging grid infrastructure, and a lack of accessible tools for residents to manage usage - challenges that hit linguistically diverse and low-income communities hardest.

• In St. Louis City alone, ~20,000 households spend 6%-30% of income on utilities.
• Peak loads strain the grid due to limited local coordination.

GreenGrid AI addresses this by forecasting household energy demand, balancing neighborhood loads, and providing personalized, multilingual sustainability guidance.

💡 Solution

GreenGrid AI combines IoT edge devices, cloud-based ML, and Generative AI to empower households and neighborhoods:

• ✅ IoT Edge - Simulated smart meters using AWS IoT Greengrass
• ✅ Machine Learning - Amazon SageMaker predicts next-day usage
• ✅ Generative AI - Amazon Bedrock crafts personalized, multilingual tips
• ✅ Frontend App - AWS Amplify shows real-time usage, forecasts, and recommended actions
