Dear Jeremy: 
 As you may be aware, OPOWER,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), had previously contracted with TriNet Employer Group, a professional employer organization (“TriNet”) for purposes of providing certain Company benefits, as well as payroll and
other human resource management services. The Company’s contract with TriNet will end on October 1, 2011. The purpose of this letter is to confirm your continued employment solely through the Company on the following terms and conditions:

  

	 	•	 	Position. Your current position is Senior Vice President, Client Solutions, located in Arlington, VA and you currently report to Daniel Yates. 

 

	 	•	 	Compensation. You currently earn a salary at the rate of $8,333.33 per pay period, which is equivalent to $200,000.00 per year, less all applicable withholdings required by law, payable on the
Company’s regular payroll dates, but not less frequently than monthly. 

  

	 	•	 	Employment Relationship. Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate
your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. Any contrary representations which may have been made to you are superseded by this offer. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term.
Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written
agreement signed by you and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. 

  

	 	•	 	Withholding Taxes. All forms of compensation referred to in this letter are subject to applicable withholding and payroll taxes. 

 

	 	•	 	 Entire Agreement. Where there is conflict with any prior understandings or agreements, whether oral, written or implied, between you and
the Company or between you and TriNet regarding the matters described in this letter, this letter supersedes and replaces such prior understandings or agreements. Where there are additional terms or conditions of employment within those prior
understandings or agreements, whether oral, written or implied, between you and the Company or between you and TriNet regarding the matters described in this letter, such additional terms or conditions will remain in full force and effect and will
be honored by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, this letter shall not alter your compensation with respect

to stock options, commissions, bonuses, or severance pay. All prior commitments regarding stock options, commissions, bonuses, and severance pay remain in full effect, save for the fact that
Opower is now your sole employer. In addition, your agreement to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter has no effect on the additional obligations contained in the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement
(“CIIAA”), which is incorporated by reference in this letter, and remains in full force and effect.

 February 4, 2012 

Dear Rick, 
 Opower, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), is pleased to offer you employment with the Company on the terms described below. 

Position. You will start in a full-time position as Senior Vice President, Engineering, and you will report to Dan Yates, CEO.
By signing this letter, you represent and warrant to the Company that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties with the Company. Employment is contingent upon successful completion
of the background check process. 
 Compensation and Employee Benefits. You will be paid a starting salary at the rate
of $10,416.67 per pay period, which is equivalent to $250,000 per year, less all applicable withholdings required by law, payable on the Company’s regular payroll dates. As a regular employee of the Company you will be eligible to participate
in a number of Company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental, and other insurances 
 Stock Options. Subject to
the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, you may be granted an option to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the
Company’s Stock Plan, as described in that Plan and the applicable stock option agreement. If you are granted an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, you will vest in 25% of the option shares after 12 months of
continuous service, and the balance will vest in monthly installments over the next 36 months of continuous service, as described in the applicable stock option agreement. The exercise price per share will be equal to the fair market value per share
on the date the option is granted, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith compliance with applicable guidance in order to avoid having the option be treated as deferred compensation under Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. There is no guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with this value. You should consult with your own tax advisor concerning the tax risks associated with accepting an option to purchase the
Company’s common stock. 
 The Company makes no representations or warranties of any type with respect to the tax consequences relating
to your participation in the Company’s Stock Plan or any other plans offered to you. 

 Acceleration of stock options. If the Company: 

(a) experiences a Triggering Event while you have Continuous Service Status and your employment is terminated for any reason other than Cause,
death, or Disability at any time following the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, or 
 (b) experiences a Triggering Event while you
have Continuous Service Status and the Successor Corporation does not assume your Opower stock options, substitute your Opower stock options, or otherwise continue your Opower options, then 50% of your remaining unvested shares shall vest effective
on and contingent upon your termination. (All capitalized terms in this section have the meaning given in the Company Stock Plan.) 

Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement. Like all Company employees, you will be required, as a condition of
your employment with the Company, to sign the Company’s enclosed standard Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (“CIIAA”) (attached hereto as Exhibit A), which contains, among other things, and
depending on your location, various restrictive covenants, including non-solicitation and non-compete covenants. 
 Employment
Relationship. Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason,
with or without cause. Any contrary representations which may have been made to you are superseded by this offer, This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title, compensation and
benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer. 
 Outside Activities. While you render services to the Company, you agree that you will not engage in any
other employment, consulting or other business activity without the written consent of the Company. In addition, while you render services to the Company, you will not assist any person or entity in competing with the Company, in preparing to
compete with the Company or in hiring any employees or consultants of the Company. 
 Withholding Taxes. All forms of
compensation referred to in this letter are subject to applicable withholding and payroll taxes. 
 Relocation. You commit to
moving your primary place of residence to the Washington, DC Metro region (“DC”), within 12 months of starting your job with Opower.

We anticipate your full relocation to be finalized no later than January 31st, 2013. 

Entire Agreement. This letter supersedes and replaces any prior understandings or agreements, whether oral, written or implied,
