Our vision is a world where decarbonisation is easy.  

Kaluza is the leading intelligent energy platform powering the future of energy.  We build software to connect the energy world and enable the energy transition. From revolutionising the billing experience to smart electric vehicle charging, Kaluza’s real-time cloud platform empowers some of the biggest energy retailers to optimise their operations and invest in innovating for tomorrow’s customers.

We’re creating the tools to help consumers unlock the full benefits of renewable energy by enabling a seamless connection between the customer and the grid.
