Through optimized operations and direct electricity marketing, enshift ensures stable, market-aligned pricing with protection from market volatility.

The property company can either purchase the system at a predefined residual value or extend the contract to maintain energy supply.

enshift continuously monitors the regulatory landscape and adapts operational strategy. Long-term pricing and flexible contracts reduce exposure to market shifts.

The self-consumption of electricity from new renewable energies that is produced/generated at the operating site can be offset against the total energy consumption as a substitution measure with the corresponding weighting factors. This regulation also applies if the electricity is generated as part of plant contracting.

Depending on how the contract is structured, the reduction in annual electricity consumption can lead to contractual penalties, which can be borne by enshift. The conclusion of a contract is therefore feasible in most cases.

Yes, the operation of the transformer is included in the offer. Maintenance is carried out by our specialist partners. Transformers are generally very low-maintenance – depending on the location, periodic inspections are carried out annually or every six months. In addition, statutory inspections (e.g. protection, performance and earthing tests) are scheduled at fixed intervals.

Instead of ongoing operating costs per kilowatt hour, we offer a transparent model: after 20 years, either the residual value of the transformer can be taken over or the contracting can be extended.

You will receive detailed information on maintenance and the type of transformer as part of the specific project.

Contractual safeguards ensure continuity of service. Even if enshift were to become insolvent, the property owner would not be obligated to assume ownership of the system.
