Energy Relax Flex: Purchase electricity on the spot market

For your business

Spot prices instead of early fixing

For companies in the liberalised market with annual consumption of 100 to 10,000 MWh and scope for fluctuating monthly electricity costs.

Energy Relax Flex follows short-term market prices. We handle the trading. You can benefit from falling prices, but also bear price increases. This is suitable for businesses that can cope with budget fluctuations.

No guaranteed price advantage

Savings compared with early procurement are not guaranteed.

Billing

Costs only known at the end of the period

Monthly electricity costs may vary. The actual costs are only finalised at the end of the billing period.

Consumption

Responding to high prices

If your company can reduce or shift consumption when prices are high, it can respond to price changes.

Tasks and risks

Trading by us, price risk by you

We handle trading on the spot market. The market price risk remains with your company.

Contractual conditions

What you should know in advance

Price risk, contract duration and switching conditions belong together.

Your questions

Spot market and quantity freedom

With full spot market procurement, the quantity remains flexible; the energy price may fluctuate.

In this model, quantity flexibility does not mean that your electricity costs are fixed.

On the day-ahead market, electricity is traded for the next day. Prices are determined by supply and demand as well as expectations regarding consumption, weather and available power plants. They can fluctuate significantly.

As you purchase your entire requirement on the spot market, there are no risks arising from volume deviations compared with a futures market volume procured in advance. The spot price risk remains.

With Energy Relax Flex, 100 per cent of your supply is not hedged in advance on the futures market. If you would like to combine the futures and spot markets, please check Energy Balance via the link below.

Energy Business is our digital customer portal. There you can view the spot price curves. Our consulting team will support you with invoice verification. Public market data can be found at EPEX SPOT.

Our sales team will provide information about the model and prepare a quote for you.
