About Us
Founded by a team of experienced researchers and entrepreneurs from Empa, Kuafu is committed to accelerating grid decarbonization and driving the energy transition to net zero by 2050.
We enable a cost-efficient grid decarbonization leveraging e-mobility and smart buildings.
Our platform bridges the communication gap between energy management providers and electrical grid operators to unlock the local flexibility from e-mobility and smart buildings for the grid’s benefit.

The Problem: Testimonials
The industry acknowledges the problem but lacks a real solution
“Grid-interactive buildings can lead to up to 8% in investment savings, when compared to the option of extending the grid capacity.”
“The NOVA principle (grid optimization before reinforcement before expansion) must be taken into account by grid operators when determining the planning principles.”
“The challenges of grid operators at the local level are simultaneously the key to the solution if fair conditions are established.”
The Problem
Many stakeholders, each with their own goals – yet no solution to coordinate them
Grid operators
High costs for energy balancing and grid reinforcement
No visibility and control on local resources operation
Energy management System (EMS) providers
No intelligent EM solutions
No visibility on grid status
Untapped revenues from grid service provision
