A morning series for the energy and technology industry
WHAT IS IT?
A regular breakfast seminar bringing together peers and experts from across energy and technology for focused, honest conversations on the topics shaping our industry.
Every six weeks, a new topic and a carefully selected panel. Breakfast, coffee and time to continue the conversation. Kept intentionally small so the discussion stays genuine and the connections feel real.
WHY WE STARTED IT
Energy intelligence is one of the most important conversations our industry needs to keep having. The intersection of energy and AI and technology is where the solutions to some of our biggest challenges will be found - but we do not believe any single company will solve them alone.
The energy transition is an ecosystem challenge. It requires the right people, from the right companies, talking and sharing together. The Kaluza Breakfast Club exists to create that space. A regular forum where experts and practitioners can share knowledge, challenge assumptions, and work through the hard questions together.

OUR FIRST SESSION — 30 April 2026
Who owns the flexible customer?
OEMs are embedding smart technology into every car and home appliance. Energy retailers control the billing relationship. Both want to trade flexibility on behalf of the customer. But whose customer is it, and what is actually best for the consumer?
