Working together for an energy system that is both green and safe.

About ESFORIN
A pioneer in the short-term flexibility market
With the goal of climate neutrality within the next few decades in mind, the energy market is currently undergoing a radical transformation. The variety of energy sources, each with its own level of availability, must be integrated into the energy system with ever-shorter lead times.
That is why we focus on the short-term trading of electricity and gas flexibility. Using our customers’ facilities, we respond—fully automatically based on individually programmed algorithms—to price signals from the energy exchanges. In doing so, we rely on artificial intelligence, which we are actively advancing to continuously improve our core processes and algorithms.
This allows our customers to significantly reduce their energy costs and benefit from a seamless, secure end-to-end process. At the same time, they help stabilize the power grid, integrate renewable energy into the grid, and significantly reduce CO2 to save money. A win-win for everyone.
Our awards and partners are a testament to our high standards of quality:
