Since the liberalization of the European electricity markets at the end of the nineties, electricity has been traded on the Leipzig Energy Exchange. When trading electricity, producers and consumers can react to meteorological, political and demand-oriented circumstances with minute precision. This leads to an electricity price that can change significantly over short periods.
With the lighthouse project EnBW Smart Energy it is possible for companies to analyze their own needs and to purchase and trade electricity directly on the Leipzig Energy Exchange. Smart Energy allows companies to contribute to the energy turnaround actively and to optimize their energy management individually, both economically and ecologically.
