Pooling

Regional purchase pools for electricity, natural gas and technical gases are successful models in a deregulated energy market.

How does a purchase pool work?

ECG coordinates the purchase pools, all necessary activities such as: data collection and analyses, tendering procedures, analyses of offers, contract negotiations or contract design and consults the participating companies in the final selection of their future energy suppliers. After having successfully concluded the negotiations, every participant receives a supply contract that is adapted individually to his needs.
