We are building Austria's largest marketplace for peer-to-peer contracts between businesses.

Terms

Energy prices and costs.

The energy prices for offtakers and producers, the marketplace costs, the minimum sizes and the two routes of direct supply. All prices net, as of September 2026.

Terms for the first round

Energy prices and marketplace costs.

The terms apply per direct supply contract between producer and offtaker. Grid fees, levies and taxes are added for the offtaker as before and are billed by the grid operator. All prices net.

Offtaker

Purchase price, offtaker pays

Standard case
8,9 ct/kWh

Net energy price, fixed for at least 3 years

Negative exchange price
6,0 ct/kWh

When the day-ahead price is below zero

Producer

Feed-in, producer receives

Standard case
7,5 ct/kWh

PV, hydro, wind, from 50 kWp, no upper limit

Negative exchange price
5,0 ct/kWh

Protection against negative prices, instead of paying the market

Marketplace costs
Admission, one-off per company
1.000 EUR

Due only after the go decision

Matching, per brokered contract
1.500 EUR

Waived with your own partner; large business 4,900 EUR

Ongoing fee
0 ct/kWh

The spread between the energy prices covers settlement and organisation

Term of your choice, 3 to 10 years, then extended by 1 year at a time. Admission for annual volumes above 1 million kWh by agreement. Matching packages see Matching. Negative exchange price: hours in which the day-ahead price of the power exchange for the Austrian bidding zone is below zero.

For the offtaker

  • Fixed energy price of 8.9 ct/kWh over 3 to 10 years, term of your choice, below the baseload forward price a utility buys at today.
  • In hours with a negative exchange price the price drops to 6.0 ct/kWh. If the exchange falls below zero, so does your price.
  • Your existing supply contract stays in place. Direct supply replaces part of your consumption; the rest comes from your utility as before.

For the producer

  • Fixed tariff of 7.5 ct/kWh over 3 to 10 years, term of your choice, above the market value for photovoltaics, with no capacity limit, so also for installations above 500 kWp.
  • In hours with a negative exchange price 5.0 ct/kWh instead of paying for the feed-in. The offtaker is matched so that it takes the power in those hours.
  • No trader in between, only settlement costs. Your contract partner is a business that consumes the electricity; the spread between purchase and sales price covers market communication, settlement and organisation, not a trading margin.

Who can take part

Offtakers: businesses with daytime load or base load.

Industry and commerce with a metering point measured by load profile. Cooling, process heat, data centres, hospitals and air-conditioned office buildings fit best, because their load occurs when the surplus is there, or around the clock.

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.

  • from 100,000 kWh

    Annual consumption. From this threshold the metering point is measured by load profile and the 15-minute load profile is available at the grid operator. Without this profile there is no matching.

  • Supplier stays

    Your existing supply contract remains in place. The residual supplier receives from us a forecast of the direct supply per metering point, so that its balancing group risk stays predictable.

  • One contract per partner

    Every supply relationship is a separate direct supply contract. Usually one anchor and a few complements, as many as the profile needs. Settlement for all of them runs through the marketplace.

Producers: sun, wind, water.

Businesses with their own generation whose surplus currently goes to a trader at market value or whose feed-in contract is ending. Especially for installations above 500 kWp, whose electricity OeMAG no longer buys at market price, and expressly also for installations whose OeMAG tariff or market premium is ending, photovoltaic and wind alike: here you get a fixed offtaker instead of the market value, and the protection against negative prices that small installations have with OeMAG, for large ones too.

  • from 50 kWp

    or from 30,000 kWh annual feed-in. Below that, the yield does not cover the effort for contract and settlement.

  • Surplus available

    The surplus is not tied to a trader long-term, or the contract can be terminated. Installations under the market premium or the OeMAG feed-in tariff should register anyway: we clarify with you which volume can be supplied directly and what happens to the subsidy.

  • Austria

    Any grid area. For direct supply in the local area the shared grid area counts; for Austria-wide trading it does not.

Roof space: area without consumption.

Businesses with a large roof but no significant electricity demand of their own, such as warehouses, logistics or halls. The installation is built only once the offtaker is in place.

  • from 1,000 m²

    of roof area, roughly 150 to 200 kWp. Below that, the revenue from direct supply does not carry the installation.

  • Not yet built

    Installation in planning or under review. For now you commit the volume on the basis of planning figures; roof area or planned kWp is enough.

  • Not an energy company

    Electricity generation must not be the main activity of the business; the ElWG requires this for direct supply. A warehouse with a roof qualifies, a pure plant operator does not.

  • Market premium plus peer-to-peer

    The market premium is fixed for 20 years and thus the security for the bank. Peer-to-peer is the revenue optimisation on top: directly supplied kilowatt-hours receive no market premium, but the offtaker's fixed price instead.

Offtakers without their own installation

No roof of your own needed.

Anyone who needs electricity around the clock and has no suitable roof takes the surplus of another business. Nothing changes at the connection, the meter or the existing supply contract: the grid operator allocates the kilowatt-hours per quarter-hour, the rest comes from your utility as before.

What it takes is a metering point measured by load profile and the release of the load profile for the matching.

Offtaker

The surplus comes from the neighbour on the grid.

Two routes, one marketplace

Direct supply in the local area or Austria-wide.

The law provides two forms. They differ in grid fees and starting date. Both run on the same platform, the same contracts and the same settlement.

Route 1

Direct supply in the local area

Producer and offtaker are in the same grid area. The reduced grid fees under the ElWG apply to the directly supplied share. This is the route for businesses with a suitable partner in the neighbourhood and for companies with several sites that supply themselves across locations.

Start
October 2026 within the same grid area, across grid operator boundaries from April 2027
Advantage
Energy price plus reduced grid fee
Partner
from your own grid area
Route 2

Austria-wide direct supply

Producer and offtaker are anywhere in Austria. No grid advantage, but the whole pool: the matching searches all registered installations for the one whose generation profile fits the business's load. Only here do a hydro plant in Carinthia and a cold store in Vienna come together.

Start
April 2027 with the new processes of Austrian market communication
Advantage
Energy price and profile fit
Partner
from all of Austria
