Lumera Energy becomes Furo

Exactly one year ago, we launched as Lumera Energy — with a planning tool and a simple thesis: Commercial and industrial battery storage is gaining momentum in Germany, but hardly anyone knows how to size it economically.

That was true. Project developers, installers, and manufacturers wanted to sell storage systems — and needed someone to provide the numbers.

One year and 3,500+ optimized projects later, the market is at a different point. And so are we.

Planning is not the end

The first storage systems have been sold and installed. And now the real problem is becoming clear: storage systems are planned with multi-use strategies — peak shaving, dynamic tariffs, flexibility marketing. But the software that actually implements this in operation is missing.

Most energy management systems are still static and rule-based. No forecasting model, no true multi-use optimization. And for flexibility marketing, there is simply no accessible solution. The revenues are left on the table.

The first platform for the entire lifecycle of a battery storage system

Furo is the first software platform to cover all three phases of a commercial or industrial battery storage system:

• Plan – Economic feasibility analysis and sizing for C&I battery storage

• Operate – Forecast-based, multi-use-optimized operation instead of static rule-based control

• Flex – Flexibility marketing and unlocking additional revenue streams

The storage system responds not only to what is happening right now — but to what is coming.

What changes for our customers — and what doesn't

For existing customers, nothing changes: full access to the planning software, as usual. But as soon as a storage system is sold and implemented, we stay involved.

From business case to high-performing asset.
