Paketeria has been a channel partner of Stromboerse for the past year. With the purchase of Stromboerse, Acorn said that Paketeria is uniquely placed to offer German customers the opportunity to switch from traditional electricity providers to other alternative energy choices, such as wind and solar power.

Andy Rosch, CEO of Paketeria and manager of Stromboerse, said: Paketeria is a leading retail supplier in Germany of green services like eBay and recycling of ink cartridges. When our customers think about making green choices for services, their source of electricity is on the top of their minds. The acquisition of Stromboerse completes a very successful marketing relationship between the two companies that developed early in 2007.

John Moore, president and CEO of Acorn Energy, said: Paketeria’s exciting acquisition of Stromboerse allows us to learn more about the opportunities presented by the deregulation of Europe’s largest and most dynamic market for electricity.
