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.
The journey began in August 2017, when energy traders Michael Waldner and Luca Pedretti, together with software entrepreneur Florian Müller, set out with the purpose of accelerating the energy transition towards net zero by creating an efficient market for renewable energy.
We create transparency, standardize methodologies, and help to educate the industry. We also digitize the route to market and provide a complete software suite. Our vision is to be the Operating System that empowers renewable energy players to have an edge in post-subsidy markets.
Pexapark is now looking to further expand the success story to the U.S. market on the back of a recent 21 million USD Series C funding round.
