The 2014 German Renewable Energy Act (EEG) will further strengthen the position of renewable energies in the market, with the gradual introduction of mandatory subsidised direct marketing. Implementation involves the use of the market-premium model, whereby the decreasing remuneration path for new facilities will form the upper remuneration limit. Operators of existing facilities will still be able to decide between feed-in remuneration and direct marketing.

We market your wind and solar energy and remunerate you with the monthly average energy price. The market value of electricity varies from month to month. It is calculated and published by the transmission network operator. The difference between it and EEG remuneration is offset by the distribution system operator using the market premium. The total of the market value and market premium equals the facility-specific EEG feed-in remuneration.

Marketing by EWE TRADING means that we take complete responsibility for the administration activities and assume the marketing risk on your behalf. For existing facilities, we can even offer you a guaranteed surplus. You do not need to take care of invoicing and you can access the evaluation of your facility/facilities online at all times.
