Kaluza wants to power a world where net-zero is within everyone's reach, by building the platform that will accelerate a sustainable, affordable and resilient energy transition. It's a huge challenge, but often the toughest problems are the most rewarding to solve.
Since launching in 2019, Kaluza's technology has been empowering some of the biggest energy suppliers to better serve millions of customers.
From revolutionising billing to smart electric vehicle charging, our real-time cloud platforms transform supplier operations, reducing cost to serve and boosting engagement. And most importantly, they enable suppliers' customers to drive decarbonisation with smart, low carbon technologies.
Kaluza's Energy Retail Platform
As the world's energy needs evolve, suppliers with legacy systems are struggling to stay on top of increasingly complex and changing data, at great expense. Kaluza leverages advanced automation to simplify previously unmanageable volumes of live customer and industry data. The SaaS platform intelligently learns from new data in real time and self-updates at scale, removing the need for manual maintenance. In doing so, Kaluza creates considerable cost savings for suppliers enabling them to instead invest in innovating for tomorrow's customers and future-proofing their business for a zero-carbon world.
