Conditions
Eight points on participation, the three stages to the contract and the most frequent questions.
Participation
If the pool does not reach 10 million kWh of settlement volume by 31 December 2026, the marketplace does not start in this round. The prices apply only with the volume, not without it.
8.9 ct/kWh is the energy price. Grid fees, levies and taxes are billed by the grid operator as before. A grid advantage arises only in the local area, not with Austria-wide supply.
Direct supply covers part of your consumption, 15 to 25 percent with PV-only partners. Your utility continues to supply the rest. This is not a full supply contract.
Without release of the 15-minute values there is no matching and no assessment. The release runs via the grid operator and can be revoked at any time.
Kilowatt-hours supplied directly to an offtaker receive no market premium and no feed-in tariff. Whether the subsidy contract continues for the remaining volume depends on its terms. We calculate with you whether direct supply pays off now or only after the subsidy ends.
The producer supplies its offtakers directly and bears their default risk. That is why a credit check, monthly settlement and a security of two monthly invoices are part of the contract.
We search for and approach partners deliberately, but do not guarantee one. If no profile fits yours or the matching partner declines, you learn that in January, with the figures.
The market processes for Austria-wide trading only go live in April 2027. Grid operator templates for direct supply contracts do not exist yet. Anyone committing now is dealing with rules that may still change before the start.
Letter of intent
The letter of intent is not a supply contract and creates no obligation. It does two things: your volume counts towards the starting size, and your load profiles are released so that, before the decision in January, we can calculate which partner fits you and what the contract would mean for you in concrete terms.
Form on the home page, annual figures from your electricity bill, non-binding. You receive the letter of intent for signature.
Signature, not legally binding. Includes the release of your 15-minute load profile at the grid operator for the matching calculation. From now on your volume counts in the counter.
After the go decision. With a concrete partner, a concrete volume and the terms above. Only here does an obligation arise.
Questions that come first
The concern is justified, which is why there is the supplier forecast. After the start, your utility sees a grid consumption reduced by the directly supplied share. So that this remains predictable for its balancing group, it receives from us a forecast of the direct supply per metering point. Our settlement partner specialises in exactly these processes. A great deal of money lies in the form of the settlement and the precision of the data, for the supplier as for you. A surcharge cannot be justified with a clean forecast. We are additionally working to win individual suppliers as partners who guarantee participants the residual tariff without surcharge.
As an additional tranche alongside what you already do. Energy buyers at large corporations procure in a structured way today: a baseload band at a fixed price, supplemented by tranches at forward or spot market prices. Peer-to-peer adds a further tranche to this strategy that combines both: a fixed price below the current EEX futures, and still an advantage in the hours when the exchange price is negative.
Then the marketplace does not start in this round, and no costs arise. The admission fee is due only after a go decision. Anyone who signed a letter of intent learns the actual figures and is earmarked for the next round.
Yes, register with the end date of your subsidy. Directly supplied kilowatt-hours receive no market premium, so in many cases switching only pays off at the end of the subsidy. We work that out with your figures and get back to you at the right time.
No. Anyone who comes with a suitable business, such as the neighbour in the same grid area or a site of their own group, pays no matching fee. The marketplace then takes over contract, registration, market communication and settlement at the terms above. We still check whether the two profiles really fit and tell you if a second partner would raise the coverage significantly.
As many as your profile needs, usually one anchor and a few complements. We select suitable partners on the basis of the profiles and approach them; the two companies decide. Each contract is a separate direct supply contract under § 68 ElWG between producer and offtaker. peer2peer.digital is the organiser, not a contracting party.
No. The supply contract stays. Direct supply covers part of your consumption; the utility supplies the rest and remains responsible for the balancing group.
