Our products include know-how, calculations, forecasts and an independent opinion. We do not sell you energy and do not benefit from the savings you make.
We help you to analyze and evaluate all relevant aspects so that you can make an informed decision and conduct negotiations successfully. Through a close cooperation, we transfer valuable long-term knowledge to your organization.
We work for many companies that, for cost efficiency reasons, do not have their own team of energy market experts. The responsibility for energy supply contracts often lies with the management, who, with our support can improve the quality of decision-making at an expert level. This is both efficient and cost-saving.
Large-scale consumers of electricity and natural gas are confronted with increasing complexity in energy supply contracts. Contract costs, management options, dealing with volume variances, compensation energy or energy efficiency clauses comprise only some of the more relevant issues.
A consistent procurement strategy, supplemented by market opinion and risk management, will support you in your decision. Our field of activity also includes providing answers to questions concerning investment decisions, benchmarks on contracts or strategies, grid connection issues or the development of regulatory framework conditions.
We are your experts when it comes to energy supply contracts. Together with you, we develop individual contract solutions and quickly identify potential savings based on our many years of experience.
In addition to this, we support you in defining and implementing a portfolio strategy optimally customized according to your risk structure. We observe markets, set price limits and monitor them. Moreover, we provide you with up-to-date market research data and relevant regulatory changes at regular energy strategy meetings. This allows you to take advantage of new opportunities at short notice or to be best prepared for new challenges.
We also take care of all your other energy market-related issues on an ongoing basis and, wherever necessary, help you with analyses, evaluations and decisions.
Overview of our product range
Working for large-scale energy consumers is our core business. We support some of the largest industrial companies in Central Europe, especially in energy-intensive industries such as pulp and paper, steel, chemicals and wood processing with an annual consumption ranging from 10 gigawatt hours to several terawatt hours. We are happy to provide you with personal references on request.
The marketing of electricity production requires a comprehensive setup of energy supply contracts, settlement processes and management strategies. Producers of renewable energy in particular are entering uncharted territory when fixed feed-in tariffs end and marketing on the free market instead enters the picture. PPAs, tranche contracts or the sale of standard products are often still unknown entities. Since energy supply companies are showing increasingly less willingness to cover all risks (balancing energy, profiles or volumes), the evaluation and reduction of these is particularly essential for revenue optimization.
We support you in negotiating and drafting energy supply contracts. In doing so, we develop the optimal supply solution or contract concept, which, with our help, you then negotiate with the suppliers you wish to use. Our many years of experience enable us to tell you in advance what savings potential can be expected from an ideal contract model awarded by tender.
Furthermore, we help you define and continuously implement a portfolio strategy tailored to your risk structure. We keep an eye on the markets for you and take over the setting and monitoring of price limits. In addition to this, we keep you informed of current developments on the energy markets and relevant regulatory changes at regular energy strategy meetings. This ensures that you can quickly take advantage of new opportunities and are prepared for new challenges.
We also take care of your other energy market-related issues on an ongoing basis and, if necessary, help you with analyses, evaluations and decisions of all kinds.

Our experts possess many years of experience in the marketing of power generation facilities (amongst others, wind farms and conventional power plants), especially in the field of renewable energy. We share this expertise with our customers in a neutral and unbiased manner, thereby enabling them to make sophisticated decisions. For this reason, many producers of renewable energy rely on us as a partner for questions concerning the energy market and marketing.
Liberalization led to the establishment of several sales-oriented electricity and natural gas suppliers. Although they have efficient structures, they often do not have an energy industry team at their disposal. However, tasks such as timetabling, consumption forecasts, load profile evaluations and back-to-back hedging must be implemented. Besides sales activities, appropriate purchasing (including tariff and competitive strategies), forecasting quality, tariff control and invoice checks are prerequisites for manageable costs and securing projected contribution margins.
We know the processes of energy suppliers in detail and help you to assemble missing knowledge and internalize it in the long term. If required, we can also take over processes of an energy-industrial nature, especially if you do not wish to set up the necessary IT systems and staff yourself. This ranges from operating a balancing group including schedule management, short-term load forecasts and the rolling out of load-measured profiles to the calculation of back-to-back hedges and the evaluation of residual quantity profiles. We evaluate your pre-supply contracts and ensure that you receive the best conditions for the services you purchase. Furthermore, we support you in defining and implementing your portfolio and risk strategies in order to ensure that contribution margins are guaranteed.

Energy trading companies are themselves experts. Nevertheless, certain projects often require an unbiased view or external expertise. This may especially be the case when reviewing and changing a business strategy, expanding into new markets or where business mergers or acquisitions are concerned. Often, the personnel resources that are necessary for certain projects are simply not available (e.g. when creating mathematical models and trading algorithms or implementing new processes). For cases such as these, we assist you as a competent partner.
With our team of energy industry experts, we support you with various services such as mathematical models or an hourly price forward curve as well as specific services such as our web service for algorithmic intraday trading for electricity. In us, you have a team of people who is greatly familiar with the operational processes in energy trading and to whom you do not have to explain your business in detail beforehand.

This makes us the ideal partner for strategic and operational projects in energy trading.
In the event of damages or conflicts regarding energy industry contracts, a corresponding assessment and interpretation can be of great importance to you. As independent experts, we provide sound arguments and expert opinions in the event of power plant outages, insolvency of contractual partners or other difficulties regarding deliveries. The calculations surrounding damages, replacement deliveries or resale values require a combination of technical and financial mathematical models.
The legislation of the energy industry constantly poses new challenges for participating companies, regulators, interest groups or other institutions involved. Independent consultation should shed light on the impact of energy industry legislation and enhance your opinion.
Through our daily work with traders, producers and consumers as well as relevant contracts, we know the details of the energy industry including the current terms and conditions and its practical nature. This enables us to help you quickly analyze situations and assess damages from an energy industry perspective. If necessary, we are happy to prepare an independent expert opinion or to support you in your argumentation and strategy.
