All you can save.
Find out how to cut your energy bills through tax and surcharge exemption.
Cost Optimization
Our cost-saving strategies go far beyond choosing the right energy supplier: we give advice beyond the first step and make inspections. We are not merely specialized in purchasing; we are also familiar with new legal regulations and agreements, so we can always suggest the optimal solution for our clients.
Individualized Distribution Charges
If a company’s peak electricity demand does not lie within the power peak window of its distribution network operator (DNO), it is eligible for a reduction of distribution charges under certain conditions in accordance with § 19 of StromNEV.
By relieving the load on the grid, enterprises may receive individualized distribution charges.
We can undertake annual inspections for you as well as complete the paperwork needed for an application.
- Inspection of electric load patterns – do they meet the criteria?
- Notifying the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency for Electricity, Gas, Telecommunications, Post and Railway)
- Transaction and agreement with DNOs
- Actual data submission to the Bundesnetzagentur
- Advice on how to adapt patterns of consumption
Electricity and Energy Taxes
Enterprises in the manufacturing, industrial or lumber industries have various opportunities to obtain a refund of electricity tax and energy taxes for natural gas and fuel oil (see §§ 9 a, 9 b and 10 StromStG as well as §§ 51, 54 and 55 EnergieStG).
Talk to us if you would like to know which type of tax refund your company can apply for. We will calculate for you whether it is financially beneficial to install an energy management system – which, please note, is a requirement for tax refund application as indicated by §§ 10 and 55.
This is what we can do for you: we examine and calculate your savings, make the applications within designated times and help you to maintain correspondence with the Hauptzollamt (Central Customs Authority). We will oversee the entire process until the sum is deposited into your bank account.
We will also remind you and offer assistance whenever you need to register and report the current status. Everything is in our hands!
