Luminus

What Luminus does

Luminus NV is a Belgian integrated energy producer and retail supplier headquartered in Brussels, operating as a subsidiary within the EDF group. The company generates renewable electricity through 314 wind turbines (847.2 MW total capacity) and 7 hydropower plants that supply approximately 60,000 households, holding the #1 position in wind and hydropower production on Belgian mainland and deriving 23% of its total energy capacity from renewable sources. It serves three customer segments — residential (primary), professional/SMB, and large enterprise — across Belgium, offering electricity and gas tariffs (MaxxFix fixed 2-year, Comfy/ComfyFlex variable, SmartFlex time-of-use), renewable generation, and a broad portfolio of energy solutions.

The company's commercial stack centers on the My Luminus customer portal and mobile application (97% customer satisfaction, Product of the Year 2026), supplemented by the EnergyControl Monitor dongle for real-time consumption tracking, the Smart Charging app for EV cost optimization, and a network of certified installation partners for solar panels, home batteries, heat pumps, and EV charging stations. Adjacent subscription services include boiler maintenance, appliance repair/replacement, and AXA-assisted home emergency coverage, with Luminus Extras and Energenius loyalty and education programs deepening customer engagement. Operational technology is hardened through Rockwell Automation's SecureOT Platform to meet IEC 62443 and NIS2 cybersecurity standards.

Go-to-market is sales-led with hybrid digital and field execution: direct online sales via luminus.be and the My Luminus app for residential and SMB customers, an enterprise field sales force for large accounts, and channel partners for hardware installation. Luminus monetizes through three revenue streams — Energy Supply (subscription/recurring tariffs), Energy Solutions (hardware sales for solar, batteries, heat pumps, EV chargers), and Home Services (recurring warranty and maintenance subscriptions). Recent strategic moves include a carbon-free energy supply agreement with Google tied to Belgian data center demand (365 MW, Oct 2025), a Copernicus satellite solar forecasting proof-of-concept (Nov 2025), and SecureOT cybersecurity deployment (Jul 2026). Leadership is anchored by CEO Raoul Nihart.
