Rabot Energy GmbH

What Rabot Energy GmbH does

Rabot Energy GmbH is a Hamburg-based, privately held German energy company founded in 2014 by Maximilian Both, Jan Rabe, and Konrad Schürmann, operating with a 1-10 person team under the legal entity RABOT Energy DE GmbH. The company runs a dual-sided business: a B2C consumer electricity offering with dynamic, EV, heat pump, and smart meter tariffs delivered through its website, iOS/Android app, and affiliate channel, and a B2B offering branded Rabot Energy Consulting that sells energy market advisory plus six proprietary software products (Intraday-Price-Curve, Intraday-Index, Ausgleichsenergiepreis-Prognose, Strategieentwicklung, Backtesting, Live-Simulation) — all available via API and built on machine learning price forecasting, evolutionary-algorithm strategy optimization, and intraday market algorithmic trading capabilities developed by the founders during prior portfolio management work at KoM-SOLUTION.

The core technology stack combines ML-based forecasting of intraday and balancing energy prices with algorithmic trading and backtesting, targeting utilities, direct marketers, technology developers, and industrial customers across all 16 German federal states. Revenue is generated through subscription-style recurring electricity supply contracts (residential and commercial/Gewerbestrom), professional services consulting fees, and software/API access. A core strategic partnership with metergrid, formalized in 2025, channels a fully integrated green electricity tariff for Mieterstrom (tenant electricity) projects serving 1,500+ installations and approximately 37,500 residents, positioning the company at the intersection of rooftop solar, certified green grid electricity, and digitalized tenant billing.
