Dynamic electricity tariffs offer the advantage of saving energy costs by shifting your consumption to periods with lower electricity prices. They promote the use of renewable energy and provide transparency through real-time price information. These tariffs also enable flexible energy consumption, which is both environmentally friendly and cost-efficient.

No, switching to us is simple. All you need is a smart metering system. You can find more information in our knowledge article "Smart Metering and iMSys."

Conventional power plants produce electricity at a constant rate. With the necessary and accelerated expansion of renewable energy, electricity generation is increasingly based on photovoltaic and wind power systems, which produce varying amounts of electricity depending on the weather. Dynamic tariffs (LUOX Dynamisch) are designed to incentivize electricity use when there is a high supply of renewable energy and prices on the electricity exchange are low. This allows you to save money while actively contributing to the energy transition by helping to stabilize the grid through smart energy use.

With LUOX Energy’s aggregation model, the electricity produced by your installation is sold directly on the electricity exchange instead of being fed into the grid via the network operator. We handle the sale and aggregation of your electricity and ensure you receive fair and market-based compensation. For more information, see our knowledge article “Requirements for Aggregation.”

Yes, you can benefit from dynamic electricity tariffs even without owning a solar installation. By consuming electricity during times when market prices are low, you can reduce your energy costs and respond flexibly to price fluctuations - saving money while also promoting the use of renewable energy.

Combining aggregation and dynamic electricity tariffs allows you to increase your revenue from your own electricity generation while also saving costs through flexible consumption. You benefit from current market prices, maximize your income, and optimize your energy usage - resulting in cost-efficient and sustainable energy consumption.

Aggregation is a model in which energy producers sell their electricity directly on the electricity exchange instead of using fixed feed-in tariffs. They benefit from fluctuating market prices determined by supply and demand and can thus achieve higher revenues. This model uses real-time data and intelligent systems to optimize energy sales. It is especially attractive for plant operators whose installations are supported by EEG funding and benefit from the market premium.

Electricity exchange prices can also become negative. This usually happens when there is high production from wind and solar energy, combined with inflexible ramp-down of fossil-fuel plants. Negative prices can occur on the day-ahead market, during intraday auctions, or on the continuous intraday market. According to §51 of the 2021 Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG 2021), the entitlement to the market premium drops to zero for installations over 500 kW of installed capacity if the day-ahead market price remains negative for at least four consecutive hours. These negative prices also reduce the calculated market value. LUOX Energy always pays out based on the day-ahead market price. In the event of negative prices, they are passed on to the plant operator. However, high market prices are also paid out in full - without being averaged down.
