Holaluz is an energy transition technology company born with the conviction of being a tool for global change and the purpose of achieving a world that runs 100% thanks to green energy. Holaluz proposes a structural change: transforming the current energy generation model - centralized and non-renewable - towards a new model with more weight of distributed and 100% green generation. From a unique strategy of two businesses - installation of solar panels and energy management - and with the vision of creating the largest green energy community in Europe, Holaluz builds a green ecosystem in homes by transforming m2 of rooftops into 100% renewable electricity producers and optimizing the efficiency of its installations through flexible assets such as EV chargers and batteries.  

“At Holaluz, unifying data across our businesses, while having distributed ownership with individual teams to share and govern their data, is our key priority. Our data is owned by different teams, and sharing typically meant the central team had to grant access. This approval created a bottleneck in our processes. We needed a faster way to analyze data with decentralized ownership, so data access can be approved by the owning team. We have validated the business data catalog use cases in Amazon DataZone preview and are looking forward to get started when it is generally available. Our consumers will be able to find, subscribe, and publish their newly created assets for others to discover, which will enable a data flywheel.”

Danny Obando, Lead Data Architect, Holaluz
