Lumen makes adopting onsite energy an obvious, compelling win for commercial building owners.

We own the complexity so you experience the upside: attractive economics, managed risk, and a trusted journey from inquiry to income. We make every next transaction faster, clearer, and more rewarding.

Shaping tomorrow
with clean energy

Investors, tenants, and regulators are increasingly pressuring the commercial real estate sector to decarbonize. 
However, the path to sustainability has been fraught with confusion, sluggish progress, and costly consulting reports that typically focus on one building at a time and often go unused.

Lumen Energy provides simple, fully-financed solutions for commercial property owners to adopt clean energy across their entire portfolio with ease.

With buildings being responsible for an estimated 35% of US greenhouse gas emissions, they represent an immense opportunity to transition to cleaner energy sources.

With a combination of cutting-edge data science, software, and deep sector expertise, Lumen Energy is making on-site clean energy accessible to commercial real estate owners and working to accelerate the transition toward sustainable energy. Lumen Energy's proprietary pricing engine can remotely assess building features, utility bills, roof quality, credit, permitting, grid prices, and other constraints.
