Summary
Discover how Luminus partnered with NET2GRID to capitalize on Belgium's digital meter rollout and navigate upcoming capacity-based grid fee regulations. Powered by NET2GRID hardware, serverless AWS infrastructure, and advanced energy analytics, the solution launched the Luminus Monitor app and Luminus Monitor Key to transform raw metering data into real-time insights, peak alerts, and actionable energy reduction.
Challenge
With the Flemish region of Belgium transitioning most households from analog to digital meters, Luminus saw an opportunity to redefine consumer energy management. However, upcoming regulatory changes introducing capacity-based grid fees meant consumers needed actionable ways to track peak usage and avoid surcharges. Luminus required an AI-driven, cloud-native solution capable of handling granular meter data ingestion, complex disaggregation, and real-time peak alerts without delaying time-to-market.
Solution
Luminus partnered with AWS Partner NET2GRID to customize and deploy the NET2GRID Insight platform and white-label application as the Luminus Monitor app. To deliver near-real-time data, Luminus and NET2GRID also launched the Luminus Monitor Key, a dongle that plugs directly into smart meters. Supported by a serverless architecture using AWS Lambda and Amazon S3, the platform delivers live tracking, dynamic disaggregation, capacity peak alerts, solar self-consumption insights, and personalized appliance optimization tips.
Results
The rollout drove exceptional user adoption and high engagement within months of launch while significantly shortening product development cycles. By providing complete transparency into energy usage, the platform empowered a substantial majority of surveyed users to actively reduce their overall power consumption and lower energy costs. The successful deployment established a strong foundation for expanded smart energy use cases and long-term consumer sustainability.
