**Why we exist. Our purpose.**

At Pexapark, we empower renewable energy players to thrive in post subsidy markets. Keeping renewable investments attractive is our contribution to a more sustainable world.

To date, only professional energy traders and utilities have built the sophistication to find answers to these questions. At Pexapark, we help our clients build up the capabilities, processes and systems to successfully navigate these challenges.

The journey began in August 2017, when energy traders Michael Waldner and Luca Pedretti, together with software entrepreneur Florian Müller, set out to do their share in shaping the renewable energy transition.

They began to build a complete solution for renewable energy investors and operators with tools that would support the entire process: identifying opportunities and pricing energy sales contracts, executing, monitoring and managing renewable energy revenues and risks, contracts and complex portfolios in post subsidy markets.
