When we are talking about decarbon – think green! we are speaking about the decarbonization. In the world of energy this means switching from fossil fuels to renewable energies.
The goal is to avoid actions and processes which release CO2 emissions. Everyone can contribute – also indirectly – by targeted investments. The term divestment or negative investment is used for companies operating in the field of coal, oil and gas. Because of financial flows, any kind of demand in those businesses is steadily reduced. True to the motto: no demand, no offer.
If you consistently implement your daily activities in terms of avoidable CO2 emissionsfor example, by purchasing electricity from regenerative energies: then you think green!
In combination, sustainability is created – in the sense of resource-efficient use.
Renewable Energies (RE) – among others, wind, water and sun – are almost inexhaustible. The power generation of such RE systems is based on natural ways. The result of contribution to climate protection is that there is no further production of CO2 emissions.
Overall, we are seeing the trend of decentralized power generation. Depending on the different regional conditions, various renewable energy systems can be considered. In Germany about 31% of electricity production is generated by renewable energy systems. This share should increase to 35% in 2020 and 80% by 2050.
Renewable energies combine environmental and economic benefits worldwide. The demand for electricity from renewable energy systems is rising continuously. This market is one of the fastest-growing future industries globally. The costs of producing renewable energy in comparison to conventional power plants (nuclear, coal, oil and gas) are becoming more and more competitive. Taking into account environmental damage and / or repository costs of conventional mining, renewable energies are already cheaper.
We see ourselves as bridge builders in the energy market – more precisely, in the field of renewable energies.
Our ambition is to implement competitive marketing services in the energy market with direct marketers and plant operators together and in a complementary position. In few words: we ensure that supply and demand will meet. Using our long-standing market access throughout Europe we make individual RE concepts available in Germany – a decisive argument for our customers and partners.
The result: our customers are receiving an RE concept that is tailored to their individual sustainability strategy. The producer of energy sees its business field confirmed.
And best of all: Everyone benefits from our services! As the “climate” does not care who exactly avoids CO2 emissions.
We develop holistic energy concepts. Discover our core competencies that cover every step of your project – from the initial idea to profitable operation.
The foundation of every project is the right site. We identify, legally secure, and create a solid technical basis through well-founded reports.
A smooth approval process is crucial. We navigate the official requirements from the preliminary building inquiry to the final statutory resolution.
In coordination with all parties, we design a tailor-made technical concept that maximizes efficiency, profitability, and longevity.
As the general contractor (GC), we assume full responsibility for the coordination and construction of your plant up to the turnkey handover.
A profitable plant requires a smart marketing strategy. We utilize all modern channels, from PPAs to innovative concepts.
After commissioning, we secure long-term returns through professional operational management, predictive maintenance, and continuous monitoring.
We create additional revenue streams and maximize ecological value by converting the CO₂ savings of your projects into tradable certificates.

Our expertise is reflected in a wide variety of successfully implemented projects.
Planning, construction, and operation of an innovative Green-H2 Hub for the production of green hydrogen, oxygen, and waste heat in Schleswig-Holstein. This forward-looking project, owned by DCE, includes the PV design as well as the complete power design and balancing group management. The development plan resolution was issued in March 2024.
Construction and operation of a green data center with a battery energy storage system (BESS) for the production of green CPU power and waste heat in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. For this project owned by DCE, the company handled the site acquisition, contract conclusion, communication with authorities, and the approval process.
Realization of a large rooftop solar park as an investor model with full and surplus feed-in. The DCE performance included the PV design, complete coordination and construction supervision, communication with grid operators and authorities, as well as securing the financing and subsequent monitoring.
Planning, construction, and operation of a rooftop solar park, which is part of DCE's own portfolio. Our services included the complete PV design, coordination and construction supervision, as well as communication with grid operators, the general contractor, and the responsible authorities.
Realization of a rooftop solar park on behalf of the plant operator, designed for full and surplus feed-in. DCE was responsible for the PV design, coordination and construction supervision, all communication with the involved parties, and the final monitoring of the project.
Construction and operation of a rooftop solar park as an investor model, designed for full feed-in, with a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a consumer currently being realized. The scope of services provided by DCE included the PV design, financing, and monitoring.
