Ampere AG

What Ampere AG does

Ampere AG, founded in April 1998 in Berlin, operates Germany's largest commercial energy purchasing pool (Energie-Einkaufsgemeinschaft), aggregating demand from over 52,000 commercial, craft, industrial, retail-chain, and public-sector customers to negotiate bulk electricity and gas contracts on their behalf. The company has negotiated over 610,000 energy contracts and currently manages a cumulative volume of approximately 4,000 million kWh, with demonstrated customer savings of up to 20% on electricity and 30% on gas. Revenue is generated exclusively through a success-based fee of 27.5% of verified customer savings (audited by DEKRA), with no upfront costs, membership fees, or supplier commissions. Distribution combines a nationwide field-sales force (Vor-Ort-Berater) covering all German regions, inside sales via phone/email, and a partnership network of 170+ federal and state trade associations across sectors including Handwerk, Gastgewerbe, Kfz-Gewerbe, Agrar, Soziales & Gesundheit, and Medien. The product portfolio spans energy procurement, invoice verification, supplier switching management, energy audits (DIN EN 16247), energy management systems (DIN EN ISO 50001), energy tax advisory, and an EV charging infrastructure line (Ladeapp, Lademap, RFID charging card management) launched in 2019-2020. The company uses OpenAI for automated invoice processing, HoloLogix.AI SE for voice-based customer service, and Microsoft Copilot for internal workflows, with a proprietary customer portal (Kundenportal) serving as the operational backbone for contract and consumption data.
