What Respect Energy GmbH does

Respect Energy GmbH is a Hamburg-based, privately held German limited liability company (GmbH) and the German sales and marketing subsidiary of the Poland-headquartered Respect Energy Holding S.A. group. Founded within the group in 2013 and operating under the leadership of Managing Director Diana Skotnicka, the GmbH sells 100% certified renewable electricity (TÜV Nord VdTÜV Standard 1304 and OK-Power) to commercial and industrial businesses in Germany, while also offering Direktvermarktung (direct marketing) and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) services to renewable energy producers. The company carries 17 employees against a group headcount of approximately 600.

The product portfolio centers on three commercial tariffs: Green Flex (dynamic pricing on the hourly EPEX SPOT Day-Ahead market), Green Fix (fixed-price, up to 6 years of price stability for businesses consuming 10,000–100,000 kWh per year), and Green Fix Pro (fixed-price, up to 10 years of price stability for businesses consuming 100,000 kWh to 1 GWh per year). Distribution is B2B sales-led via phone (+49 40 333 555 33), email, online forms, and an online customer portal, with the company handling all switching formalities on behalf of the customer. Underlying supply draws on the group's own generation portfolio (282.14 MW across wind, solar, and storage) and a network of partner producers spanning 27 European markets with active presence at 18 energy exchanges.

Commercially, Respect Energy GmbH is in an orderly wind-down phase. In 2025, the group announced that Respect Energy GmbH's entire customer base will transfer to meistro Energie GmbH effective July 1, 2026, with Green Fix and Green Fix Pro to be rebranded as meistro classico and Green Flex as meistro ratio. Respect Energy GmbH continues to operate and fulfill existing contractual obligations until that date. Group-level operations (Polish generation assets, holding entity, other subsidiaries such as Respect Energy S.A., Solar Wind, RE Poweric, Respect Energy Fleet, Respect Energy IT Solutions, and Respect Energy Brokerage House) remain unaffected by this German entity-level restructuring.
