About Us
Founded by a team of experienced researchers and entrepreneurs from Empa, kuafu is united by a clear vision: a future where energy systems are intelligent and fully decarbonized.
What brought us together is a deep-rooted commitment to accelerating the energy transition – not in theory, but in practice.
kuafu’s values reflect the change we want to see: integrity in how we work, impact in what we deliver, openness in how we collaborate, and urgency in how we act on the climate crisis.
Our mission is to reshape how energy systems function for a cleaner, fairer, and more sustainable world.

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
