Launch of the first electronic tendering phase for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 delivery years.

For around 800 Bavarian municipalities, the bundled tenders for the supply of electricity for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019 were launched with the announcements. For the second time in a row, the municipalities are tendering their electricity requirements with KUBUS Kommunalberatung und Service GmbH via the web-based tender platform enPORTAL. The largest electronic tender to date via the portal covers around 39,000 offtake points. New: For the first time, the data was processed independently by the municipalities in the online portal, which saved a lot of time and effort. By using the online solution, the Bavarian municipalities show how advanced and efficient their energy purchasing is.

First phase of electronic power procurement launched

Around 800 Bavarian municipalities launched the electricity procurement for the supply years 2017, 2018 and 2019 for a quantity of approx. 678 gigawatt hours per year. The total of 84 bundled tenders are carried out in the "open procedure with subsequent electronic auction", distributed over approx. 39,000 offtake points, including SLP, RLM, street lighting and heating power offtake points.

One third of all municipalities want only green electricity, while the remaining municipalities also accept normal electricity offers from the suppliers. "With around 39,000 offtake points being put out to tender, there is an enormous amount of data that can be displayed comprehensively, uniformly and clearly via our enPORTAL. All interested suppliers can access the tenders electronically, which increases competition and ultimately offers the municipalities better energy prices," says Clemens Graf von Wedel, Managing Director of enPORTAL.
