Terms
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
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.
Due only after the go decision
Waived with your own partner; large business 4,900 EUR
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.
Who can take part
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
or from 30,000 kWh annual feed-in. Below that, the yield does not cover the effort for contract and settlement.
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.
Any grid area. For direct supply in the local area the shared grid area counts; for Austria-wide trading it does not.
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.
of roof area, roughly 150 to 200 kWp. Below that, the revenue from direct supply does not carry the installation.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
