Business Analyst Portfolio Management & Trading

Our journey began in 2014 with Chapter 1 of the energy transition, in which we wanted to make the market more transparent by connecting consumers directly with local, green energy producers.

Now, in Chapter 2, we are committed to making 100% green energy available 100% of the time. Think of smart solutions - flexible use of wind and solar parks, smart charging of electric vehicles, and efficient energy storage.

We don't wait around and we make an active contribution to a sustainable future, occasionally with a touch of rebellion.

Green energy, smart solutions - that is Vandebron.
