German energy company Trianel made a profit of €100,000 in 2015, down from more than €5m the previous year.
The company said the reduced profit was because of a drop in electricity wholesale prices and the resulting losses from its conventional asset investments.
Sales increased almost 19% to €2.1bn from €1.8bn the year before. This was due to expansion of the company’s commercial, procurement and optimisation business, Trianel chief executive officer Sven Becker said.
The company said last year it “successfully invested in renewable energy and in promising fields such as digital platforms and flexibility products and will continue on this path”.
Trianel said it had developed two digital platforms – T-Desk and T-Ped – provide to provide its municipal utilities with web-based systems for conducting daily business.
T-Ped is used by 50 municipal utilities in Germany and it the last 18 months 1000 PV, heating and charging stations contracting solutions were processed via the platform, the company said.
T-Desk Trianel is a starting point in digitizing the procurement portfolio management process by automating business processes and allowing for real-time monitoring of portfolios.
