We are a young, growing, international, privately owned company. Since our start in 2008 we have grown into an organization with over 140 colleagues who work across the US, the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, Poland and Japan.
Our mission is to accelerate the energy transition. We do this by organizing group buying projects for sustainable products such as renewable energy contracts and rooftop solar & storage and heat pump installations.
We are human centered, meaning that in everything we do, we look at the world through the eyes, hearts and minds of humans. This allows us to create the ideal customer journey for both consumers and our partners via our digital platform.
Since 2008 we have helped 2.7 million consumers to switch to a renewable energy contract and we have helped over 150.000 people to install a solar system on their roof and generate their own electricity.
