Local. Digital. Fair.

We buy electricity from local producers and supply the households next door.

Our platform is built to let energy suppliers, municipal utilities and grid operators offer local supply under their own name, too.

What we do

We supply households.

Our offer for households is called Nachbarschafts-Strom. We buy the electricity from local producers and deliver it to households in the neighbourhood. In every tariff, the contracting party is Pyrpose Energy GmbH.

We offer a platform for local supply.

The platform is built to let energy suppliers, municipal utilities, grid operators and partners offer local supply under their own name.

About the platform

So that Germany's energy system is no longer disconnected from people.

Anyone who has invested in a solar installation feeds their surplus into the grid for a few cents and buys the same electricity back in the evening for many times as much. People who rent have little stake in local generation. The electricity is generated on the roof next door, but it does not reach the neighbour. Both sides lose.

Now is the right time.

The technology is here.

Prices for solar modules and battery storage have fallen sharply over the years. Artificial intelligence makes it possible to automate billing to a greater extent.

The old structures no longer hold up.

Generation happens in many small places instead of a few large ones. A market designed around large power plants and a trading desk at the centre does not reflect that.

We are building the infrastructure to buy electricity from many small installations, deliver it to households in the neighbourhood and bill it fairly.
