AGL Energy-backed UK “smart” energy platform Kaluza, which manages electricity supply and billing and is being tipped as a challenger to Origin Energy’s successful Kraken platform, has bought an Australian software company to help broaden its customer base.
Kaluza, which also counts UK electricity supplier Ovo Energy as its major shareholder, has bought Melbourne-based Beige Technologies, and plans to roll out its systems in markets including Australia, Britain, the US and Japan.
