Around twelve years after its foundation, enPORTAL presents a completely redeveloped online portal: A new look, more intuitive navigation, numerous tools and options as well as individual settings mean that energy buyers now have an even better tool for carrying out their digital energy procurement and cloud-based energy data management. For corporate energy purchasing departments, the relaunch means more work, time and cost savings than ever before. Also new is enPORTAL's own webinar offering, where interested buyers can get a live impression of the online portal for themselves. Around 900 online tenders run in the first half of 2020 represent a new record in the company's history and show how much demand there is for e-procurement in the energy sector.

enPORTAL presents itself in a new design

enPORTAL, one of the leading portal operators in Germany for digital energy procurement and cloud-based energy data management for electricity and gas, has completely redesigned its online portal in terms of both content and appearance. The new portal emphasises enPORTAL's high standards for standardised online processes for all aspects of electricity and gas procurement and makes it even more intuitive and faster to use thanks to new navigation. In combination with personal customer support, purchasing departments are optimally equipped with the enPORTAL Full Service to purchase energy prices close to the exchange via the online marketplace with currently 650 energy suppliers and to manage energy data digitally in a professional manner. "With the modernised online portal, we want to show that enPORTAL is consistently developing both internally and externally and is making full use of all the current digital possibilities relating to e-procurement," says Clemens Graf von Wedel, Managing Director and owner of enPORTAL. With numerous new tools and filter options, energy buyers from companies receive more details and processing options for their consumption points, consumption, costs and contracts for electricity and natural gas.

New: enPORTAL webinars provide insight into the online portal

enPORTAL is now offering a live tour of the portal for all interested energy buyers with its own webinars. The digital tour of the online portal is rounded off with a question and answer session for the participants and is intended to provide a first impression of all the services and functions. "A personal presentation of the portal to companies on site is made difficult by the Corona pandemic. Since we can access enPORTAL from anywhere with an internet connection, we can network digitally with buyers," says Wilfried Rademaker, authorised signatory at enPORTAL and the first point of contact for customers from the industrial, retail, hospital and property management sectors. The live demonstrations take place regularly and recurrently.

Record number: 900 energy tenders run in the first half of 2020

enPORTAL records a new record number for tenders run via the online marketplace: In the first half of 2020, the portal operator realised and accompanied around 900 electronic energy tenders of electricity and gas. "The increasing demand was already noticeable at the end of the first quarter, but the months thereafter also showed great interest in our digital full service," says Clemens Graf von Wedel, founder and owner of enPORTAL. One reason is the fall in stock exchange prices, which provided energy buyers with savings opportunities in the wake of the Corona pandemic. The online portal is used by numerous, well-known companies from the fields of industry, trade, services, clinics, commerce and trade as well as by public institutions. The portal operator currently manages 150,000 purchase points and an energy volume of 18 terawatt hours per year (2019). Around 650 energy suppliers in Germany use the online marketplace and regularly participate in the online tenders, so that buyers benefit from great competition and thus from the best prices at the time of digital procurement.
