Sustainably profitable: EEG Energie-Einkaufs- und Service GmbH and AMPEERS ENERGY jointly offer tenant electricity-as-a-service for municipal utilities


Hanover, 11.02.2020 - The start-up AMPEERS ENERGY and EEG Energie- Einkaufs- und Service GmbH, which is part of GETEC ENERGIE GmbH (GETEC ENERGIE), are entering into a cooperation and offering a "tenant electricity as a service" service for municipal utilities. The innovative white label solution provides EEG's municipal utility customers with an all-round carefree solution for the realization of tenant electricity projects: Tenant electricity becomes simple and economical.

Energy service providers leverage synergy potential

For small and medium-sized municipal utilities in particular, it is an enormous challenge to develop the mostly small-scale, decentralized business in an economically viable way without having to build up extensive expertise. Against this background, most sensible tenant electricity projects fail in the concept phase. This is precisely where Marc Wiederhold, Managing Director of EEG Energie- Einkaufs- und Service GmbH, would like to support his municipal utility customers in the economically successful implementation of the decentralized energy transition. As an energy service provider for small and medium-sized municipal utilities, EEG assumes the role of the platform that is necessary for success and consistently leverages the overarching synergy potential. "This means that even small-scale, decentralized business models can be implemented profitably for EEG's customers," explains Wiederhold and invites all municipal utilities to work together.

Increasing attractiveness of tenant electricity projects

"In terms of returns, the implementation of new business models such as tenant electricity will increase rapidly over the course of 2020," predicts Karsten Schmidt, Managing Director and founder of Ampeers Energy, a spin-off of the Frauenhofer Gesellschaft. The main reasons for the growing activities in this area are, on the one hand, the decreasing remuneration for grid feed-in from newly constructed photovoltaic systems and, on the other hand, the availability of a digital solution for the simple implementation of such business models, in particular the low entry barriers of the solution offered, which can also be adapted in terms of brand design, enable economically attractive and practically risk-free implementation. In this context, the low initialization costs and the fully integrated energy industry know-how, with which the complex tenant electricity regulations are completely covered, should be mentioned. In addition, the solution can be connected to the existing processes of a municipal utility in a very short time via interfaces without having to intervene deeply in the existing IT.

EEG is one of the leading providers of energy services for municipal utilities

As a subsidiary of GETEC ENERGIE, EEG is part of the GETEC family. It benefits from the experience and the network that GETEC ENERGIE has built up. In its cooperation with municipal utilities, EEG distinguishes itself not only as a service provider, but above all as a reliable partner for municipal supply companies. Together with AMPEERS ENERGY, EEG develops cloud-based software solutions for municipal utilities to ensure a simple and profitable entry into tenant electricity, district energy management and electromobility.
