In many parts of Germany, renewable energy (green electricity) is now being produced. However, the efficient distribution and utilization of surplus electricity still has significant room for improvement.
Attractive marketing options for these electricity volumes are lacking. Likewise, there are limited opportunities for accessing genuine green electricity and participating in renewable energy systems.
With the Skando Electricity Community, in cooperation with our partner WeShareEnergy, we provide a solution that connects producers and consumers via an online platform.
What is an Electricity Community?
An electricity community is a network for exchanging renewable energy volumes.
It functions as a marketplace where suppliers and consumers of renewable electricity can individually negotiate electricity prices.
Who is an Electricity Community for?
• Companies with PV systems
• Private households with PV systems
• Municipalities and local authorities
• Direct marketers
• Consumers interested in renewable electricity without their own production
Implementation Ideas
For example:
• Companies with multiple locations can supply branches without PV systems using their own generated electricity and account for it accordingly.
• Employers can sell electricity to their employees at discounted rates.
• Companies can offer their own end-customer electricity tariff as an additional service.
• Municipalities can secure financing and supply local residents.
• Private households can share electricity with family members, friends, and neighbors.
How Does the Electricity Community Work?
Producers of renewable energy (suppliers) offer their surplus electricity online via the community’s customer portal.
Consumers without their own renewable installations, after concluding an electricity contract with WeShareEnergy, negotiate their electricity price with a supplier through the platform and purchase renewable electricity directly from them.
