The other half of the dynamic tariff

Dynamic tariffs determine what customers pay for the electricity they consume. Dynamic feed-in tariffs determine what they earn for the electricity they send back to the grid.

exnaton settles both directions in a single tariff per customer, on 15-minute data, and hands the result to your ERP as billable items.

As prosumers become flexumers, their tariffs need to evolve with them.

In use at leading utilities

Feed-in remuneration is becoming more dynamic

Across European energy markets, traditional feed-in models are evolving toward market-linked remuneration, more granular settlement, and new rules around negative prices. For utilities, that means feed-in is becoming another energy product that needs to be priced, settled, and explained.

🇩🇪 Germany

Since February 2025, new installations with a smart meter receive no remuneration for quarter-hours with negative exchange prices. A cabinet draft from July 2026 would end fixed feed-in for new systems and move them to direct marketing — still subject to parliamentary approval.

🇦🇹 Austria

Support under the EAG is paid as a sliding market premium on top of the reference market value, so the electricity has to be marketed and the premium falls to zero during sustained negative prices.

🇨🇭 Switzerland

Since January 2026, remuneration follows a nationally harmonised quarterly reference market price instead of utility-set rates, with a minimum for small systems.

🇧🇪 Belgium

Net metering has ended for prosumers with a digital meter, and injection rates are set by suppliers rather than regulated — mostly variable and indexed to the wholesale market.

Settle any feed-in and remuneration model — including the ones still coming

Launch dynamic feed-in tariffs, priced the way your dynamic tariffs already are

Apply the same flexible pricing logic to feed-in that you already use for dynamic consumption tariffs.

  • Settle feed-in at fixed, spot-indexed or time-variable prices, or by formula with offset or multiplier.

  • Use the same EPEX SPOT day-ahead and intraday indices that drive your dynamic consumption tariffs.

  • Price surplus flexibly with rewards and bonuses on top of market value — from loyalty and time-based bonuses to premiums for locally consumed energy.

  • Exclude negative-price quarter-hours from remuneration where the regulation requires it.

  • Adapt as rules or business models change — through tariff configuration, not new implementation projects. One platform supports direct remuneration, aggregation, community supply, and contracting.

Turn distributed small prosumers into a portfolio asset

Aggregate the surplus of individual prosumers and create new value from locally generated energy.

  • Pool the surplus of many small prosumers into one aggregated load, with a forecast for the entire feed-in pool.

  • Market that load on the day-ahead and intraday markets, or hand it to your trading desk as a single position instead of thousands of individual systems.

  • Sell it locally instead, to customers in the same region or the same community, where it is worth more than a reference price.

  • Allocate the revenue back to each prosumer per quarter-hour, and pay them a fixed rate above the market value of their surplus.

  • Combine aggregation with local energy products and energy communities to keep more value within your customer base.

Bring storage and bidirectional EVs into the tariff

Extend prosumer tariffs beyond PV as households add more flexible assets.

  • Settle stationary storage within the tariff, including flat-rate and offsetting allocation models.

  • Support bidirectional charging, where the vehicle feeds the home or the grid.

  • Charge storage when prices are low and remunerate discharge when they are high, on the same price signals your smart charging and HEMS products already use.

  • Handle the quarter-hourly allocation between offsettable and eligible volumes on smart-meter data.

  • Price import and export consistently across every asset in the household.

Convince prosumers to join your energy community

Turn locally generated surplus into a differentiated energy product for both producers and consumers.

  • Surplus sold to members of a community earns more than surplus sold to the grid at a reference price.

  • What is left over after the community has been served can still go onto a dynamic feed-in price.

  • One contract covers community supply, residual supply from the grid and remuneration for everything exported outside the community.

  • Prosumer tariffs and energy communities run on the same platform: Energy sharing.

Enable new contracting models

Create prosumer products even when the PV or storage asset belongs to the utility rather than the customer.

  • Bill on-site consumption from your own installation at its own price — separate from grid supply, on 15-minute data.

  • Keep the surplus in your portfolio and market it, instead of remunerating it to the customer.

  • Settle the roof lease or contracting fee alongside the electricity in the same tariff.

  • Works the same way for a battery you own and operate in the customer's home.

  • Extend the same model to tenants, landlords and commercial sites where the occupant will not finance the asset and keep the generation on your balance sheet.

Give prosumers one clear view of their energy

Make increasingly complex energy flows transparent and understandable for customers.

  • Show consumption, self-consumption, feed-in, storage, and remuneration in one customer experience.

  • Provide transparent breakdowns of energy volumes, prices, and payouts.

  • Give customers visibility into forecasts for their own generation and consumption.

  • Deliver the experience under your brand through a white-label app or embedded web components.

Integrate with your existing utility landscape

Launch new prosumer products without replacing your core systems.

  • Connects to your ERP, CRM, billing and metering systems, including SAP IS-U and SAP S/4HANA Utilities, without replacing them.

  • Remuneration and billing values flow back as billable items.

  • Real-time data via the metering operator interface or optical meter read-out.

  • Feed-in forecasts at portfolio level support your procurement, direct marketing and balancing.

  • Feed-in and self-consumption rules are configured per market rather than hard-coded, so the platform follows you into the next one — live today in DE, AT, CH and BE, including §41a EnWG and §19 (3a–c) EEG in Germany.

Frequently asked questions

What types of B2B energy contracts does exnaton support?

A prosumer tariff settles both directions of a household's electricity in one contract: the electricity drawn from the grid and the electricity fed back from the household's own generation — including what passes through a battery or an EV on the way.

What types of PPAs does exnaton support?

A tariff in which remuneration for fed-in electricity follows a market price — typically an EPEX SPOT day-ahead or intraday index, optionally with an offset or multiplier — instead of a fixed rate set years in advance. It is the mirror image of a dynamic consumption tariff, and it can be combined with one in the same contract.

Which pricing mechanisms does exnaton support?

Because fixed feed-in remuneration is being replaced by market-linked models across Europe. The route differs by country — a reference market price here, a market premium there, the end of net metering somewhere else — but the direction is the same everywhere: what used to be a fixed payment set years in advance becomes a calculation, per quarter-hour and per customer. At the same time prosumers are becoming flexumers, with batteries and EVs that shift when electricity is fed in at all. Neither fits a tariff built for an annual meter reading.

Can exnaton handle PPA products combined with tranche and spot procurement?

Yes. Individual systems are pooled into one aggregated load with a forecast for the whole feed-in pool, which can be marketed on the day-ahead and intraday markets, handed to your trading desk as a single position, or sold locally. The revenue is allocated back to each prosumer per quarter-hour.

Does exnaton replace our existing billing system?

The same aggregation answers that case: their surplus is pooled and marketed, and they receive a fixed rate above its market value. That keeps systems in operation that would otherwise have no business case, and gives you a locally sourced product for your consumption customers.

Can customers see how much electricity comes from PPAs, Tranches and Spotmarket?

Fixed rates, spot-indexed prices, formula products with offset or multiplier, and time-variable prices — plus rewards and bonuses on top, such as a loyalty bonus or a premium for surplus delivered in defined hours or kept in the region. All configured per tariff rather than built per customer, so the model can change when the regulation does.

How long does implementation take?

Consumption and feed-in are allocated on 15-minute data, which separates self-supply from grid supply and from export. That makes each part visible in billing and in the customer app. Where the model requires it — contracting, or a community — self-consumption is not just visible but priced in its own right.

Can exnaton manage structured energy contracts across multiple customer sites?

That is the contracting case, and it is supported. You own the installation on the customer's roof, the household's on-site consumption is billed at a preferred price, the surplus stays in your portfolio, and the roof lease or contracting fee is settled in the same tariff. The same applies to a battery you own and operate in the customer's home.

What business outcomes can utilities expect?

Yes. Stationary storage can be settled within the tariff, including flat-rate and offsetting allocation models, and bidirectional charging is supported where the vehicle feeds the home or the grid. Charging and discharging can follow the same price signals as your smart charging and HEMS products.

Does exnaton support pay-as-produced and pay-as-consumed contracts?

Yes. Systems can be pooled for direct marketing across all customer groups, with forecasts for the entire feed-in pool to support procurement and balancing.

Can customers access ESG and renewable sourcing data?

A prosumer's surplus is usually worth more inside a community than on the grid. exnaton runs both from one platform, so a prosumer can supply a community and put the remaining surplus on a dynamic feed-in price under the same contract.

Does exnaton integrate with SAP IS-U and SAP S/4HANA and any other ERP system?

Yes. exnaton integrates with existing ERP, CRM, billing and metering systems, including SAP IS-U, SAP S/4HANA Utilities and powercloud, and returns remuneration and billing values as billable items — without replacing your IT landscape.

What do prosumers see?

A single view of self-supply, consumption, export, storage, costs and remuneration, with forecasts of their own generation — as a white-label app or embedded in your existing customer portal.
