Goal
"Wir sind aus einer Bürgerinitiative entstanden und daher wohl nicht nur der ungewöhnlichste Energieversorger des Landes, sondern auch der mit den engagiertesten und weitreichendsten Zielen. Uns geht es um weit mehr als nur um den Wechsel zu sauberer Energie. Wir wollen Mut machen, die Dinge selbst in die Hand zu nehmen, zu verändern und zu gestalten. Und das gelingt: Überall in Deutschland finden sich immer mehr Menschen, die nicht nur Energie von uns beziehen, sondern selbst Zeichen setzen und Veränderungen anstoßen." (Automatic Translation: We were born out of a citizens' initiative and are therefore probably not only the most unusual energy supplier in the country, but also the one with the most committed and far-reaching goals. We are about much more than just switching to clean energy. We want to encourage people to take things into their own hands, to change and shape things. And we are succeeding: All over Germany, more and more people are not only buying energy from us, but also making their own mark and initiating change.)
