What Energy Trading Company does

Energy-Handels-Gesellschaft mbH & Co. KG (EHA), founded in 1998 and headquartered in Hamburg, is a German energy service provider specializing in multi-site commercial customers. The company delivers an integrated stack of energy procurement (electricity and gas), competitive metering operations (Messstellenbetrieb), energy controlling and data management, and energy consulting. EHA operates as a qualified meter operator under German law, supplying day-current measurement data across all customer locations. The company's go-to-market is enterprise sales-led, targeting companies with at least 10 sites or 2 GWh annual consumption in Germany and Austria, with a minimum customer threshold and dedicated account management.

EHA's technology backbone is built around two proprietary platforms: EHA ONE, a centralized energy and facility data management platform, and the EIS (Energieinformationssystem), which delivers day-current energy consumption data to customer devices with encrypted exchange. Both run on EHA's private cloud infrastructure housed in geo-redundant data centers. The company procures energy daily across all relevant German trading venues — exchange, OTC, futures and spot — supporting a 5 TWh portfolio that anchors wholesale pricing terms for smaller buyers. EHA has held the position of Germany's largest green electricity supplier since 2008 and operates structured procurement models and tranche models to mitigate price risk for clients.

EHA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of REWE Group, part of a diversified conglomerate that includes retailers such as REWE, Penny, dm, toom, and MediaMarktSaturn. The company manages a recurring revenue base across energy supply subscriptions, metering operations, and energy controlling services, with consulting fees as a secondary stream. Named customers include REWE Group, PENNY Markt, dm-drogerie markt, Vodafone, MediaMarktSaturn, toom, Flink, Landgard, Transgourmet, Emons, INTERSPORT, DEPOT, Sparda-Bank Hamburg, 1&1, Swapfiets, and Fitness First. EHA was recognized as 'Beste Mittelstandsdienstleister 2026' by WirtschaftsWoche and maintains compliance certifications including MessEG, the German Sustainability Code (DNK), and active participation in the Hamburg Environmental Partnership.
