UK-based energy software platform Kaluza has acquired tech company Beige Technologies, citing their blend of advanced software engineering with deep market insight for enterprise energy retailers.
According to Kaluza in a release, as commercial energy users’ requirements become more complex with the growing need to decarbonise operations, energy suppliers require advanced solutions that can adapt to these increasingly diverse requirements.
The acquisition, says Kaluza, will enable them to respond to these growing demands by enhancing its platform capabilities for suppliers serving the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector.
Namely, by adding Beige’s advanced quoting, billing, and data orchestration tools, says Kaluza, energy suppliers using their platform will be able to streamline pricing, generate actionable insights and improve risk management.
Commenting in a release was Melissa Gander, CEO of Kaluza: “Integrating Beige’s capabilities into Kaluza’s platform opens up a whole new sector for Kaluza, accelerating our growth in APAC and beyond.
“Combined with Kaluza’s energy optimisation technology, we look forward to unlocking the potential for large-scale commercial users to accelerate the shift to a cleaner, decentralised energy system.”

Kaluza takes on the ‘Zoo’
Beige’s product suite, known as the ‘Zoo’, helps energy suppliers navigate the evolving energy landscape.
With the acquisition, Kaluza gains the company’s staff, brand, customer contracts, and intellectual property.
Founded in 2018 by Lee White, Ravi Chandiramani, and Jesse Warburg, Beige Technologies’ team of more than 50 includes a blend of software engineers, technical leads, sales, and management professionals, building next-generation SaaS solutions for the energy sector.
Moose, its flagship tool, is used by Australian providers to generate tailored solar, battery, and grid quotes in a few minutes, a task that typically takes days with legacy systems. This enables faster sales cycles, significantly higher productivity and greater operational agility.
Spider, another core application, uses AI to reconcile billing data and helps energy suppliers manage growing tariff complexity with increased speed and confidence.
The acquisition, says Kaluza, will significantly enhance local expertise, accelerate product development and expand operational capacity to better serve customers in the APAC region and beyond.
Said Lee White, co-founder and managing director of Beige Technologies: “Our pioneering technology has been battle-tested in Australia, one of the world’s most advanced and complex energy markets, operating at the bleeding edge of the energy transition.
“Many of the challenges we’ve solved are now emerging globally, and we’re thrilled to scale our impact by bringing these high-performance tools to energy suppliers worldwide through Kaluza.”
This acquisition builds on Kaluza’s recent global momentum, including a $100 million investment with AGL and a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation to expand in Japan.
