Maximize your Earnings with LUOX Direktvermarktung

With our solution for the dynamic aggregation of commercial renewable generation installations, you can efficiently and profitably market your self-generated surplus electricity from photovoltaics, biomass or wind. Take advantage of the opportunity to operate your installations economically and benefit financially in the long term. Even commercial operators of smaller installations under 100 kWp can benefit from LUOX Energy's flexible and transparent dynamic aggregation model.

This is LUOX

Since 2013, LUOX Energy has managed over 400 plants as an aggregator through Lumenaza. We offer direct access to the energy market and fair earnings from the sales of surplus. Marketing costs are transparently and proportionally passed on to you, without hidden risk premiums. Decreasing costs are directly passed on to you.

Benefit from a contract that can be canceled monthly, giving you full control. We support you with Redispatch 2.0 to help prevent grid congestion and efficiently manage your plants, contributing to grid stability.

Choose LUOX Energy and enjoy transparent, flexible aggregation with maximum control and fair conditions.

What is aggregation and how does the billing work?

Aggregation means the sale of electricity from renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics, wind, biogas or hydro power. In this process, the surplus generated electricity is traded directly on the electricity exchange through an aggregator like LUOX Energy and compensated accordingly, instead of being fed into the local grid at a fixed EEG feed-in tariff.

Whether it's a photovoltaic system, solar park, wind turbine or biogas plant – we are your partner for marketing your electricity from renewable energy. We market plants with an installed capacity of 0 to 10 MW. In the context of Redispatch 2.0, we also take on the market roles of the Dispatching Responsible Party (EIV) and the Operator (BTR).

Hedging via the market premium

LUOX Energy pays you the earning generated on the electricity exchange in the form of the day-ahead price, minus the costs for aggregation. In the long term, aggregation increases the profitability of your systems. In addition, you receive the market premium from your respective distribution network operator, guaranteed for a period of 20 years, providing you with financial security.  

The market premium is calculated based on the average electricity exchange prices (market value). This value remains the same every month for the 20-year support period, while the difference between the market premium and the market value varies monthly.

For Plants above 100 kW, Aggregation has been mandatory since 2016. For smaller Plants, participation is voluntary.

For plants with a capacity of over 100 kW, aggregation has been mandatory since 2016. Smaller plants can participate voluntarily. Plants that were commissioned after January 1st, 2016, and have more than 100 kWp capacity must be marketed directly. This obligation applies to new plants with over 500 kWp since August 1st, 2014. Existing plants that were approved and commissioned before the EEG 2014 came into effect are exempt from this obligation and can choose between EEG aggregation and fixed feed-in tariffs from the grid operator.

Voluntary and mandatory direct marketing

New investments

New systems are required by law to sell directly from an installed capacity of 100 kW

Existing systems

Existing investments can voluntarily switch to direct marketing and generate attractive additional revenue.

Increase profitability through aggregation

By combining the sale of your electricity with market premiums, higher long-term earnings can be achieved.

The LUOX Pricing Model – Without Risk Premiums

Our pricing model is transparent, fair and works reliably even in today's volatile markets. It ensures that no risk markups are added or charged to you.  

Balanced Marketing Costs
Our marketing costs are balanced and transparent. LUOX Energy Community diversified and balanced portfolio of plants collectively minimizes cluster risks. This means that the actual costs are proportional to your earnings, this ensuring that you benefit immediately from lower costs.  

This is how our pricing model is structured:

  • The electricity fed into the grid is remunerated on an hourly basis according to the   EPEX Day-Ahead market spot price.
  • A fixed service fee, based on the plant’s generation capacity.
  • A variable service fee calculated as a percentage of the remuneration for the electricity fed into the grid (3%).
  • The marketing costs are transparently passed on.
  • A one-time setup fee of €200.
    The costs for the smart meter are additional.

Your Benefits

Profitability and Security

Aggregation enables you to increase the profitability of your plants.  We pass on marketing costs transparently and proportionately, without hidden risk surcharges. Lower costs are passed on directly to you.

Combine our Products

Combine LUOX Direktvermarktung with LUOX Dynamisch to make the most of price fluctuations. Sell surplus electricity profitably when prices are high and purchase electricity cheaply or free of charge when prices are low or negative. This strategy maximizes your earnings and contributes to grid stability.

This flex-ready strategy ensures that you benefit optimally from price fluctuations and maximizes your revenue, while at the same time contributing to grid stability.

Frequently asked questions

Who is allowed to sell electricity via aggregation?

LUOX Energy supports the aggregation of photovoltaic, wind, hydro and biogas installations. These renewable energy systems can sell their electricity directly on the electricity exchange and benefit from fluctuating market prices.

How does aggregation with LUOX Energy work?

Aggregation allows energy producers to sell their electricity directly on the electricity exchange instead of relying on fixed feed-in tariffs. They take advantage of market prices that vary depending on supply and demand in order to achieve higher earnings. Intelligent systems and real-time data help optimize the sales process and maximize revenue.

What is an RLM meter or a smart metering system (iMSys)?

RLM meters (load profile meters) and iMSys serve different purposes. Both types of meters record electricity consumption in 15-minute intervals. However, RLM meters not only measure electricity consumption but also capture peak loads. 
For generation systems such as PV installations, biogas systems, or wind turbines, RLM meters are used for installations with an installed capacity of 100 kWp or more. Under current regulations, these systems cannot yet be equipped with an iMSys - only smaller installations up to 100 kWp are eligible for a smart metering system.
More information: Smart Metering and iMSys

Which aggregation interfaces does LUOX Energy support?

How does billing and compensation work in aggregation?

In aggregation, billing is based on the volume of electricity you deliver each month and the corresponding market price. You will receive a detailed statement from us, including an explanation of all components. Billing takes place on the 18th of the following month and payment is made on the 25th (e.g., electricity fed in during April: billing on May 18, payment on May 25). You will automatically receive the invoice by email and can also view it in your customer portal or LUOX Energy app.

What are the advantages of aggregation for businesses?

Aggregation offers businesses the opportunity to generate higher earnings by selling electricity at current market prices. It allows flexible adaptation to market conditions and uses real-time data to optimize energy sales. In addition, it promotes the use of renewable energy and enhances overall competitiveness.
