Stephen Fitzpatrick, founder of UK energy company Ovo, is set to become CEO of Kaluza, the energy software firm spun out from Ovo in 2025. This leadership change marks a significant shift for Kaluza as it positions itself as a Kraken challenger in the competitive energy technology market.

Kaluza, which emerged from Ovo's technology division, has been developing software solutions for energy management and grid optimization. The company's focus on digital infrastructure for the energy transition has attracted attention from investors and industry observers alike. Fitzpatrick's return to lead the company signals confidence in Kaluza's potential to disrupt the energy software landscape.

The move comes as the energy sector faces increasing pressure to decarbonize and modernize infrastructure. Kaluza's software aims to help utilities and energy providers manage the complexities of renewable energy integration, electric vehicle charging, and smart home technologies. With Fitzpatrick at the helm, the company is likely to accelerate its growth strategy and expand its market presence.
