Sells energy-community administration: automated member onboarding, invoicing and full integration with the national electricity data hub (EDC). Czech electricity sharing over that hub opened only in 2024, and the site still shows placeholder testimonial names and empty community counters, so it names nobody it has signed up.

Sets up allocation keys and issues invoices for shared electricity; the vendor is a Czech metering-software house trading since 2003, but this sharing module belongs to the 2024 rules. Only marketing copy is published — nobody using it is named, and no public contract for the IČO appears in the state contracts register.

- Early: Delta Green (another site)Market checkdeltagreen.czDelta Green (another site)Prague spot-price supplier and household flexibility aggregator, ~€4.2M raised — no community administration or member billing on its site, but the most plausible local entrant to watch.
Sells spot-price electricity supply and household flexibility aggregation — a virtual power plant that pays households for the flexibility of their solar, batteries, heat pumps and EVs. That is generation and grid services, not a community's books: no member billing, no allocation keys and no settlement appears on its site or in its press. It raised EUR 2M in October 2025 after EUR 2.2M in May 2024 and publishes no launch year; worth watching, because vyhláška 132/2026 Sb. opens the data hub to flexibility and storage from August 2026, which makes it the most plausible local entrant into this niche.

About this section
- What this shows
- What stands between you and the first sale: who buys, what permission selling needs, what it must plug into, and whether it needs outside money.
- Why it matters to a builder
- It tells you whether a small team can start selling soon, or needs a licence, a certification or funding first.
- How to read the score
- More points mean easier to enter: 3/3 is easy, 0/3 very hard. It is not added to the Opportunity total, and local competition does not count here: that is Market gap.

Suggested first moves
- Call Energetické společenství Liberec, the community that signed up the city's schools this summer, and ask how it bills its members today.
- Next, call the South Moravian energy agency, which already runs sharing for a private firm in another community.
- Recompute one community's month of sharing from the hub's data before building anything else.

Suggested first moves
About this section
- What this shows
- A few concrete steps to start with.
- Why it matters to a builder
- They are cheap ways to learn whether buyers will pay, before you build much.
- Call Energetické společenství Liberec, the community that signed up the city's schools this summer, and ask how it bills its members today. Ask who works out each member's share, how the quarterly invoices get made, and what the admin fee pays for; its contracts and price list are under Willing to pay. That routine is your product spec.
- Next, call the South Moravian energy agency, which already runs sharing for a private firm in another community. It sells that work as a service, not as software; see Market gap. Abroad, energy service firms like it buy white-label billing software and offer it under their own name; see Validated abroad. Ask how it does the work today, and whether it would run its communities on your software.
- Recompute one community's month of sharing from the hub's data before building anything else. Work out who should have got what and who owes what, and show the gap in crowns; the loss the press reported is under The opportunity. This also tests the risky assumption: that the hub's data is enough for an outsider to bill on.
- Price your software below the admin fee members already pay, and show which part of that fee it replaces. The fee also pays for accounting, legal advice and a reserve, so software replaces only part of it; see Willing to pay. Several young Czech firms already sell this billing without a named customer, and a local flexibility supplier could join them; see Market gap. So win on a named first customer and a recomputed month, not on features.
- Point new communities at the state fund that pays for their build and their administration. It pays communities, towns and their associations to build shared generation, and it stays open until the end of next year; see Willing to pay and Why now. Every community it funds will need its members billed.
