What Is Nett and How Does It Work?
Nett is all about developing your energy in a smarter, greener way. Whether your business has a roof or not, Nett offers green electricity at a fixed price. No surprises, no hidden fees—just clean energy tailored for companies. The idea is simple: use your roof to generate solar power or, if you don’t have roof space, tap into surplus energy from others nearby. It’s a fresh approach to energy that puts control back in the hands of businesses, making green energy accessible and hassle-free.
Main Benefits of Partnering with Nett
Choosing Nett comes with some pretty clear perks. Here’s a quick snapshot:
- Fixed prices that stay steady over the long term—no more worrying about fluctuating energy bills.
- Only 8% of roof space in Flanders is currently used for solar panels—meaning there’s a huge untapped potential.
- Earn money by selling your surplus energy or lower your own energy costs through corporate Power Purchasing Agreements (cPPA).
- Nett acts as a third-party financier, so no upfront investment or hassle designing, building, or maintaining installations.
- Even companies without roof space can buy local green energy by connecting with neighbors’ surplus.
- Comprehensive service including project management, installation, maintenance, and surplus energy sales.
Making the Most of Your Roof
It’s surprising, but only a tiny fraction of roof space in Flanders is used for solar panels—just 8%. If you’re reading this, chances are you might be leaving money on your roof. Nett wants to change that. By trading your surplus energy through a corporate Power Purchasing Agreement, companies can buy or sell excess energy. This means you can actually earn from your roof or reduce your own energy costs. It’s a win-win that turns unused space into a valuable asset.
How Nett Supports Businesses Without Roof Space
Not everyone has the luxury of roof space, and that’s totally fine. Nett has a solution for roofless companies too. Through their platform, businesses can purchase surplus energy from nearby installations. This way, even without owning roof space, companies can still enjoy local, green energy. It’s a clever workaround that ensures no one misses out on the benefits of renewable energy, no matter their building’s setup.
