Lekker Energie

What Lekker Energie does

Lekker Energie is a German retail energy provider founded in 2003, offering electricity, gas, heat, and solar products to residential customers as the primary segment, with a smaller business-customer unit. The company positions itself as a 100% renewable energy supplier, sourcing green power from wind, solar, hydro, and biomass and certifying its Ökostrom through TÜV NORD (certificate 1304). It operates as Grund- und Ersatzversorger in the Heinsberg region and serves customers nationally through a digital-first model.

The underlying technology is a web-based self-serve platform centered on the lekker.de tariff calculator (postal code, address, consumption inputs) and the Mein lekker customer portal for 24/7 account management. Product set includes core tariffs (Strom, Gas, Wärmestrom, Ökostrom) plus add-on modules: BalkonPlus (balcony solar + tariff bundle), Autostrom (EV charging tariff), Regionalstrom (locally-sourced green power with Stromsee and Agri-Solar sub-products), and free heat-pump consultation in Berlin-Brandenburg. Contract structures are primarily fixed-price Energiefestpreis for 12 or 24 months, with a loyalty bonus applied after 12 months for qualifying consumption tiers.

Lekker earns revenue through recurring consumption-based tariffs on residential and small-business electricity, gas, and heat contracts, with a hardware component from Balkonkraftwerk sales and bundled tariff supply. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer exclusively via digital channels — website, blog (Energieladen), Facebook, and Instagram — with no physical retail presence. Award positioning (Focus Money 'Fairster Stromversorger'/'Fairster Gasversorger' 2025, Top Lokalversorger 2026, ninth consecutive TOP Service Deutschland award) underpins customer acquisition and retention in a highly competitive retail energy market.

Direct peers

• Green Planet Energy (formerly Greenpeace Energy): Green Planet Energy is a German green energy cooperative offering 100% renewable electricity and gas to residential and commercial customers. Its eco-focused positioning and member-driven model make it a direct peer to Lekker in the German Ökostrom retail segment.
• Lichtblick: Lichtblick is a major German green energy retailer offering 100% renewable electricity and gas to residential customers with a digital-first model. It is the closest direct peer to Lekker given its overlapping green positioning, residential focus, and emphasis on digital customer service.
• EWS Schönau: EWS Schönau is a citizen-owned German energy cooperative supplying green electricity from regional renewable sources. It is directly comparable to Lekker in the German green retail energy market, particularly in customer-driven, eco-focused branding.
• Naturstrom: Naturstrom is a German green electricity and gas supplier owned by naturstrom AG, focused on 100% renewable supply from German renewable plants. It competes directly with Lekker in the eco-electricity segment with similar sustainability messaging and TÜV-style certification.

Emerging players

• 1Komma5°: 1Komma5° is a German climate-tech company focused on residential solar, heat pumps, and EV charging — including its own energy tariff '1Komma5° Strom'. It is an emerging player peer to Lekker given its overlap in balcony solar / heat pump / EV customer segments, though it is hardware-led rather than supply-led.
• Enpal: Enpal is a German renewable energy company specializing in residential solar leasing, heat pumps, and EV chargers. It is an emerging player peer to Lekker given overlapping customer base in residential solar and home electrification, though Enpal's model is asset-financing rather than energy supply.

Broad incumbents

• EnBW: EnBW is a major German integrated energy utility supplying electricity, gas, and increasingly green energy products to millions of customers. It is a broad incumbent peer to Lekker, offering overlapping residential supply but with generation, T&D, and charging infrastructure assets.
• E.ON: E.ON is one of Germany's largest energy utilities offering electricity, gas, and energy services to residential and business customers nationwide. It is a broad incumbent peer competing with Lekker in residential supply, but with vastly larger scale, own-generation assets, and product breadth.
• RWE: RWE is a leading European integrated energy company with significant German retail operations through innogy and prior subsidiaries. As a broad incumbent, it is comparable to Lekker in residential supply but operates across the full generation-to-customer value chain at far greater scale.
• Vattenfall (Germany): Vattenfall's German operations supply residential and business customers with electricity, gas, and district heating across northern Germany. It is a broad incumbent peer to Lekker given overlapping retail energy offerings, though with a much larger generation and heating footprint.
