Local. Digital. Fair.

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

Our tariffs for private and business customers are called Nachbarschafts-Strom.

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

The electricity is generated on the roof next door, but it does not reach the neighbour.

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.

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.

For households and businesses

Nachbarschafts-Strom: electricity from installations nearby

  • We buy the electricity where it is used.
  • For electricity from nearby, we pay the people who generate it, not a trading desk.
  • In every tariff, the contracting party is Pyrpose Energy GmbH.

Who we work for

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

  • Energy suppliers & municipal utilities

    The market is shifting to the local level, and you decide whether you help shape it.

  • Grid operators

    Your customers will ask about local supply. Our platform is built for the operations behind it, and we would be glad to define the standards for them together with you.

  • Partner network

    You develop or install technology that lets households generate or store electricity. We add the supply and the billing.

  • Investors

    Pyrpose Energy is supplier, platform and community operator in one. We think of energy in terms of community.

In operation, not on paper

More than 17,000 metering points

That is how many metering points our platform bills every month.
