Kaluza has acquired Australian energy software company Beige Technologies to enhance its platform for commercial and industrial energy suppliers. This acquisition will expand Kaluza's APAC presence and improve its capabilities with Beige's advanced tools like Moose and Spider. The move follows Kaluza's recent $100 million investment with AGL and a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation. Beige's team and technology will now be part of Kaluza, supporting its global growth and energy transition efforts.

Tuesday, 25 March 2025Advanced software platform for energy, Kaluza , has announced it has become an Automation Service Provider (ASP) for Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E’s) new ‘Hourly Flex Pricing’ (HFP) pilot in an expansion of Kaluza’s pioneering EV managed charging programme in California.Drivers can access the Hourly Flex Pricing pilot rate via a Kaluza-integrated chargepoint and an intuitive mobile app which enables EV drivers to easily ‘set and forget’ their charging. Kaluza’s platform optimises EV charging to periods of lower electricity demand and higher renewable energy availability, empowering customers to reap financial rewards while supporting the transition to a resilient, decarbonised grid.The integration with PG&E’s HFP pilot builds on the launch of Kaluza’s California Energy Commission-supported REDWDS program announced in February 2024 which enables customers to save up to 60 percent on their home energy bills. Championing inclusivity, 50 percent of Kaluza’s enrolled drivers are from disadvantaged or low-income communities, or both.Kaluza’s programme is the latest deployment of its next-generation software and demand response capabilities proven globally across the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. It will also include bidirectional Vehicle-to-Grid charging, enabling drivers to send energy from their EV’s battery to their home or the grid, increasing customer engagement, network resilience and cost savings while accelerating the shift to renewable power.“Kaluza strongly supports PG&E and other utilities rolling out new innovative rates that allow drivers to benefit from their active role in shaping a stable, renewable-powered system” said Jonathan Levy, Managing Director, US & Japan, Kaluza. “These time-of-use and type-of-use electricity rates are an important tool that software platforms can harness to deliver a win-win-win for customers’ energy bills, the grid, and the planet. We commend PG&E for embracing new technologies and approaches to transform for a rapidly evolving system and we’re delighted to add them to our growing roster of global utility clients
