Built for easy integration with existing infrastructure
Distro connects local physical infrastructure/assets within a community. Every electricity user and asset owner can easily activate their access to the trading marketplace.
Everyone wins by accessing the most competitive energy prices
This marketplace transacts in real time over a forward market, responding to external supplier and feed-in tariffs. Every market participant in the community can benefit from more competitive prices, which incentivizes consuming on-site renewable generation, dynamic demand response and returns on energy storage. Distro is also designed to work alongside other energy procurement such as PPAs, to improve overall cost efficiencies.

Serving your microgrid
With lead clients and private landlords, we transform business parks and neighborhoods into comprehensive local power markets. Tenants get new contracts and terms, with better prices. Includes joint development of an optimization roadmap – e.g., installing more storage capacity and profitable connectivity to wholesale markets.
Growing a local market
With early adaptors and a wholesale trading partner, we realize a baseline deployment with direct economic benefits for all participants. The local market grows with entry of more generators and consumers, on terms equal to all.
Distro is accelerating the energy transition by providing better prices for renewable power and better returns on generation and storage. Our team members come from significantly experienced backgrounds in commodity markets and data technology, committing their bundled forces to Distro's purpose.
We believe that the roll-out of renewable power and flexible demand solutions is being slowed down by legacy market inefficiencies and we are proud to say we are solving that. We bring full transparency and real-time data exposure to inform better decision-making. We bring fair market access to unlock better revenue models. We connect supply, demand, and flexibility directly in order to balance the grid and minimize idleness. We have proven indeed that these benefits unleash faster growth and better use of green power.
With an impact-first mentality, Distro is now determined to grow fast. We cherish ownership and transparency as our core values. These are driving the designs of our solutions as well as the daily operations of our team members. Distro believes that both people and businesses flourish when they are equipped to act sovereignly whilst being united under a shared vision. It is exactly what the energy transition needs: full exposure, swift moves, and intelligent mutuality.
We take ownership of what we do, as a team and as people, guided by our shared vision.
We enable an environment where everyone can measure the impact of their work.
We are agile and make incremental changes faster to facilitate quicker learning.
We have a flat and open team structure that encourages a healthy debate. No conversations are too difficult.

Europe's largest port, the Port of Rotterdam, is undergoing large-scale growth in renewables and electrification.
The successful trial of Distro's new microgrid trading platform facilitated fair and transparent prices, as well as
cost-efficient consumption of renewable energy for our tenants. Balancing local electricity needs with local generation
is key to unlocking significant grid infrastructure savings. We are excited about the prospects of scaling this solution
and the meaningful contribution it can make toward helping the Port of Rotterdam become carbon neutral by 2050.
