0:00 · For property managers and owners of apartment-building portfolios in Germany
We pool the energy contracts across your buildings and broker them as one.You earn a share every month. Your tenants never pay more than under basic supply.
Whether it suits your portfolio takes ten minutes to find out, on a call with the owner of the business. This page is as long as that call. The clock shows how far in you are.
The questions that usually come up in these ten minutes.
What CLEOenergy takes on. And what it doesn’t.
Minutes 1 to 4: the longest part of the call
You ask
What do you take on?
- 1:08
We go through last year’s bills, building by building.
That gives you the contract picture for your portfolio: which contract, which term, which notice period.
- 1:16
We find the right partner for your pooled portfolio.
One framework contract for the whole portfolio instead of many separate ones.
- 1:24
We keep the termination calendar.
Switches happen at the turn of a month, with at least 21 days’ notice under section 38 EnWG.
- 1:32
We organise the switch.
For every property you have handed over to us.
- 1:40
We check against the basic supply level every month.
If a tenant tariff rises above it, we move that property back.
- 1:48
We settle your commission.
Monthly instalments, with a final statement backdated to year end.
You ask
And what don’t you?
- 2:10
We do not supply energy.
CLEOenergy is a broker. Supply comes from an established partner under the framework contract.
- 2:35
We do not touch any property you haven’t handed over.
The power of attorney covers handed-over properties only.
- 3:00
We do not run a tender with individual bids.
We look for one partner for the whole portfolio.
- 3:25
We do not do solar tenant electricity under section 42a EnWG.
This is about heating gas and communal electricity in your buildings.
You ask
What do I earn?
A new revenue line on your portfolio, month after month.
The pooled framework contract comes with better terms. That advantage flows to you as a recurring commission: to the property manager and/or the owners or owners’ association. Who receives which share, we agree with you for each building.

You ask
Is this for us?
Legal assessmentAn external law firm has reviewed how the model fits German tenancy and condominium law. Its report is available.
You ask
What do I have to do?
Two things.
- Send us last year’s bills for each building.
- Sign the power of attorney for the properties you hand over.
We give you a template for informing owners, the advisory board and tenants.
Everything else is at minute 1. Back to minute 1
That was ten minutes.
The real call takes just as long. You speak to the owner of the business, and afterwards you know whether it fits your portfolio.
