E3/DC integrates dynamic electricity tariff from Ostrom and promises affordable charging

Cooperation aims to make dynamic electricity tariffs usable. Through the home power plant, PV self-suppliers can optimize their electricity consumption based on stock exchange electricity prices and are expected to significantly save costs, according to the promise.

The electricity provider Ostrom, specializing in dynamic tariffs, and the storage and charging technology specialist E3/DC have announced a strategic partnership. The plan is to integrate Ostrom's dynamic electricity tariffs into the energy management of E3/DC home power plants. PV self-suppliers should significantly save costs when purchasing electricity and be able to charge electric vehicles price-optimized, according to the providers. The integration significantly expands the options for customers and makes the potential of the volatile electricity market usable. According to the partners, the cooperation paves the way for a sustainable, decentralized energy supply.

Ostrom's dynamic tariff enables consumers to draw their energy when it is cheapest. Especially in times of low solar radiation, this option is attractive for users of an E3/DC home power plant, according to the provider. In combination with the storage system and controllable consumers such as the heat pump and the charging station for electric cars, dynamic electricity tariffs can significantly reduce procurement costs. In addition to this added value for E3/DC's customers, the integration of the dynamic electricity tariff also contributes to the stability of the electricity grids and improves the use of renewable energies. When consumers align their electricity purchases with the market price, they typically use the supply during the cheapest hours. These are also the periods when renewable sources generate a lot of electricity, the providers outline. Additionally, users of dynamic tariffs avoid purchasing electricity during critical phases - when the supply of electricity is low and typically high consumption occurs. This way, fluctuations in generation and consumption are better balanced, and the stability of the power supply is optimized.

"Together, we not only offer optimized energy supply but also the opportunity to actively participate in shaping a more sustainable future," believes Matthias Martensen, co-founder of Ostrom.

With the integration of dynamic electricity tariffs, we are implementing an important part of our 360° self-sufficiency concept in practice, emphasize Andreas Piepenbrink, CEO of E3/DC, and Antonius Bronstering, Chief Energy Management Services & Marketplaces Officer at E3/DC. "In addition to intelligent self-consumption, our customers can cover all other needs through energy management with favorable market prices," say the responsible parties. According to E3/DC's understanding, maximum self-sufficiency is achieved through software-supported interaction between the home power plant, the electric vehicle, and the electricity market - leading to the greatest possible independence from fossil power plants and outdated energy economic models.
