At exnaton, we believe the future of electricity pricing is dynamic, transparent, and sustainable. The days of rigid fixed-price models are over. With the rise of renewable energy and new regulatory frameworks, dynamic electricity rates are becoming the new standard — bringing benefits for consumers, energy providers, and society as a whole.
For decades, fixed-price rates dominated the market. But in an energy system increasingly powered by solar and wind, fixed prices are no longer adequate. Electricity is generated dynamically — depending on weather conditions and time of day.
That’s where dynamic electricity rates come in. Prices can now be adjusted on an hourly or even 15-minute basis. This means consumers can use electricity more affordably whenever renewable production peaks — such as during sunny afternoons or windy nights.
The shift to dynamic pricing creates a triple win:
As our Co-Founder & CEO, Liliane Ableitner, emphasizes:
“Sustainability-minded consumers should not only think about how much electricity they use, but also when they use it and where it comes from. A pricing model that reflects this is the foundation for true energy transition.”
This transformation is not just driven by technology — it’s also backed by regulation. Since 2023, energy suppliers with more than 100,000 customers have been required to offer dynamic rates. By 2026, all utilities across Germany will need to follow suit.
In short: dynamic electricity rates are becoming the new gold standard.
We built exnaton to make this shift seamless for energy providers. With SPOT, our latest product, we connect directly to the European electricity exchange (EPEX) and process energy and pricing data in 15-minute intervals.
For end customers, this data is presented in a clear, user-friendly format that empowers smarter decisions about when to consume electricity.
As a spin-off of ETH Zurich, exnaton is already recognized for our award-winning white-label platform enabling energy sharing. With SPOT, we’re setting the next milestone in building a modern, consumer-centric, and sustainable energy economy.
Our vision is clear: Dynamic electricity rates are not just a regulatory requirement — they are an opportunity to make energy fairer, greener, and more transparent. At exnaton, we’re here to help energy providers lead this transformation.
