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

Monika Arnaudo

“Grid-interactive buildings can lead to up to 8% in investment savings, when compared to the option of extending the grid capacity.”

Distribution Code Schweiz

“The NOVA principle (grid optimization before reinforcement before expansion) must be taken into account by grid operators when determining the planning principles.”

Corinne Häberling

“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
