On 6 April 2009, Climex Energy Auction successfully auctioned a green electricity contract of 17 connections for TNO (Dutch Organisation for Applied Physical Research).
Climex Energy Auction also supported TNO in parts of the European Tender Procedure, in cooperation with TNO’s energy consultant.
TNO applies scientific knowledge in order to strengthen the industry’s and government’s capacity to innovate both on a national and international level. In part, they this is achieved by linking knowledge from various disciplines. Innovation is often created at the interface of disciplines where worlds 'collide'. It is in these collisions TNO finds solutions to the problems that yesterday seemed insoluble.
Climex Energy Auction auctioned the contracts for a period of 3 years (2010-2012), with an option on electricity supplies for 2013-2014. During the two-hour auction, interested suppliers competed on price. After the auction, the contract was awarded to the supplier who offered the best price.
