eFriends Energy GmbH runs a web app and the eFriends WATCH+ monitoring device that let members share and trade locally produced electricity from photovoltaics, small hydro, biogas and storage within a community. Members set their own prices in the app, and electricity not available from the community is supplied as certified Austrian green power.

Customers are private households and businesses that produce or consume electricity in Austria. According to the website, revenue comes from a platform usage fee of 1.2 ct/kWh, purchase and sale fees, and one-time set-up costs for technology and installation. Customers switch their electricity supply to eFriends Energy GmbH to join the community.
