Lustre Innovation Centre works at the market-creation and productive-use end of the energy value chain - helping energy solutions reach more people, power productive businesses and deliver lasting value.
We combine consumer insights, business-model innovation and market development to make clean-energy solutions more accessible, commercially viable and sustainable.
We help energy companies reach underserved consumers through last-mile distribution and market development, including the distribution and adoption of energy-access appliances and technologies.
We help businesses turn access to energy into increased productivity, incomes and economic opportunity. This includes developing and scaling productive-use-of-energy (PUE) solutions and business models that make energy investments commercially viable and sustainable.
We integrate energy into productive sectors to unlock new opportunities from energy-powered agriculture and productive enterprises to Energy-as-a-Service models, such as cooling-as-a-service. We also support the development of e-mobility markets and business models that make electric transport more accessible and scalable.
We help make energy products more durable, repairable and sustainable throughout their lifecycle. This includes last-mile repair and maintenance services, after-sales models, refurbishment and e-waste management for products such as solar water pumps and other distributed energy technologies.
