Erneuerbare Energien Aktuell (EEAktuell)
Erneuerbare Energien Aktuell, known as EEAktuell, is a German-language knowledge and comparison platform covering renewable energy, home energy technology and sustainable investing. The platform has been online since 2023 and addresses private individuals. The publisher is EEA L.L.C. Jessica Dzikonski, as managing director, holds editorial responsibility for the content.
EEAktuell publishes explanatory articles, provider comparisons, product tests, user reports, expert interviews and its own calculators and decision aids. Topics range from photovoltaics, balcony solar systems, heat pumps and energy-efficient renovation to ETFs, crowdinvesting, savings and fixed-term deposits, and sustainable banks. All content is free of charge and available without registration. The platform focuses on the German-speaking market.
EEAktuell is an editorial publication without its own product business. It does not sell energy, does not broker contracts and does not hold customer accounts. It is also not a daily news outlet, and it is not the same organisation as the B2B trade magazine erneuerbareenergien.de.

The editorial team is permanent. Richard Roth works as editor and SEO manager covering home energy technology, renewable energy and green investments. Lars Hartog is an editor for the same three subject areas. Arun Niemann is an editor for home energy technology and sustainable investing.

Funding and editorial independence of EEAktuell
EEAktuell is funded from three sources: commissions from affiliate links, editorial partnerships, and licensing of the EEAktuell seal to awarded providers. The platform runs no display advertising. Affiliate links are marked with an asterisk. Readers incur no additional cost.
According to the published editorial principles, an article is produced first and independently of any potential commission. An affiliate partnership is examined only after the editorial assessment is complete. Where no partnership materialises, the provider remains listed, in that case without a link. The EEAktuell seal is awarded editorially and without payment. The licence fee applies solely to the subsequent use of the seal by the awarded provider.
Full details appear on the pages how EEAktuell is funded and EEAktuell principles. An overview of network partners is available on the network page.
Content published by EEAktuell is information and does not constitute investment, tax or legal advice. It does not replace individual advice from qualified professionals.
Distinguishing EEAktuell from similar offerings
EEAktuell is an editorial publication and never acts as a provider or broker. It is not an energy utility and not an electricity supplier. It concludes no electricity, gas or heating supply contracts, holds no customer accounts and settles no credit balances. It installs no photovoltaic systems, balcony solar systems, heat pumps or wallboxes, and provides no maintenance. It is not a financial adviser, not an asset manager, not a bank, not a crowdinvesting platform and not a fund provider. Enquiries about contracts, invoices, deliveries or payouts go to the respective provider rather than to EEAktuell.
Several trade publications carry similar names. erneuerbareenergien.de is a B2B trade magazine published by Hüthig, neueenergie.net addresses energy transition professionals, and erneuerbare-energie.de is another editorial portal. Those outlets serve the industry. EEAktuell addresses private individuals and combines energy topics with investment topics.
The output of EEAktuell consists of guides, comparisons and decision aids with a longer shelf life, updated on an ongoing basis. Daily industry news is not part of the offering.
