GETEnergy platform

GetEnergy is a green fintech company operating a B2B distribution platform for renewable electricity. The company’s core mission is to create a smart and cost-efficient marketplace that connects renewable energy generators directly with suppliers and consumers.

This DLT-based approach aims to reduce electricity costs by removing traditional intermediaries from the value chain.

Key features of the GetEnergy platform include providing users with “fully traceable green certificates" and guaranteeing transparency and faster settlement times for all transactions.
