The green energy provider Grüüün is ending its business with private customers after just about two years. The company cites planned changes in energy policy and a lack of planning security as reasons. The nationwide private customer business will be discontinued on October 31, 2026.
That’s It for Price Guarantees
The company from Rugendorf, Bavaria, relied on its own concept: According to the company, the electricity comes mainly from solar and wind farms belonging to the Münch Group’s production facilities. The direct sourcing was intended to enable stable prices by avoiding intermediaries. Grüüün even launched with price guarantees of up to ten years. However, these long-term commitments are now no longer reliably calculable.

New Laws Create Uncertainty
The provider primarily blames two planned legislative projects by the federal government for the decision. These are the Renewable Energy Act 2027 and the Grid Package 2027. Both initiatives aim to reorganize the framework conditions for the generation and feeding of renewable energies.

The federal government aims to make the expansion of wind and solar plants more efficient and better planned. However, Grüüün sees risks for its own business model. The company fears that fewer new plants might be built in the future, leading to a shortage of long-term planned electricity volumes. According to the provider, this would make the basis for long-term price guarantees more difficult. Discussions with political decision-makers have not changed this.
What Affected Customers Should Do Now
For Grüüün customers, electricity delivery ends at the end of October. Those who do not sign a new contract by then will not be left without supply. In this case, the local basic supplier will automatically take over the electricity delivery. However, basic supply tariffs are often more expensive than alternative market offers.
Consumers should therefore choose a new tariff as early as possible and pay attention to price, contract duration, and price guarantee. Grüüün plans to request the final meter reading via email with a personal link on the changeover day. Final invoices are to be prepared in November. Any credit balances and overpaid installments will then be refunded to customers.
