Exnaton and sunvigo develop new electricity tariffs for prosumers
Exnaton and sunvigo have entered into a cooperation agreement for the supply and billing of green electricity. The innovative tariffs are intended to offer so-called prosumers long-term security.
An environmentally conscious population is looking for energy security with the prospect of cost savings. According to a press release, the Zurich-based software company Exnaton and the Cologne-based energy supplier sunvigo want to offer so-called prosumers – customers who both produce and consume electricity – an innovative tariff. Sunvigo offers an electricity contract that can be purchased from the solar system provided by the company at a fixed price of 16 cents per kilowatt hour. Such a contract runs for 20 years, after which ownership of the solar system is transferred to the homeowner. If the self-produced electricity from their own roof is not sufficient, sunvigo customers also benefit from favourable conditions on the European Power Exchange EPEX. For the combination of self-production and dynamic residual electricity tariffs, sunvigo relies on the PowerQuartier billing platform from Exnaton, a spin-off of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich(ETH).
To present their joint project to the general public, Exnaton and sunvigo are inviting the public to a webinar entitled “Smart prosumer tariffs as the key to energy independence” on 29 February from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., according to the press release. Information on the project will be available at the E-World trade fair in Essen from 20 to 22 February.
