Luminus has chosen Volue as a strategic partner to jointly develop an agile IT landscape to support their short-term operations and enhance their data management processes.

“The increase of renewables and decentralized production units makes optimization more complex and volatile. The Volue solution will help us build a simple, agile and cost-effective optimization platform to maximise the value of our assets and ensure market compliance,” says Gregory Michiels, Corporate Director Optimisation in Luminus.

Volue will implement its full-scale solution covering various modules over a three-year project.

“We look forward to working with Luminus, particularly in modelling the entire asset portfolio that covers a wide range of technologies and to support them in the development of their strategy with regards to data management,” says Tom Darell, EVP and Head of Energy in Volue.

“This agreement with Luminus is in line with our solution strategy and is a very important milestone. They will use our integrated solution for their short-term optimisation operations covering the entire end-to-end process from data management to power plant optimisation, trading and market communication.”

For this project, Luminus worked with Powel which has since rebranded as Volue.
