Problem

Residential electricity customers often pay static retail rates that do not reflect real-time wholesale market fluctuations, preventing them from shifting consumption to cheaper periods. Without a smart-meter interface, households with electric vehicles, heat pumps, or photovoltaic systems cannot exploit price volatility, leading to higher energy bills and limited participation in the energy transition.

Solution

Rabot Energy provides a dynamic green-power tariff that mirrors hourly wholesale electricity prices. By linking the tariff to a smart meter, the platform delivers real-time price signals to a mobile app, enabling users to schedule EV charging, heat-pump operation, or other flexible loads during low-cost intervals. The service passes 80% of wholesale price savings directly to the consumer, retaining a modest margin. Customers can choose a price-cap option (rabot.comfort) for budget certainty or a fixed-price plan (rabot.fix) if they lack a smart meter. Contracts are month-to-month for dynamic tariffs, with a fixed-price alternative requiring a one-year term.

Target Audience

The primary customers are German residential households equipped with smart meters, particularly those that own electric vehicles, heat pumps, or rooftop photovoltaic systems and seek to reduce electricity costs through load optimization.
