Task 24

Buyer Groups for Individual/Internet based Buyer Groups

It is possible to form buyer groups with individual buyers with no common relation.

In the Swedish project solupphandling, which was performed in collaboration with local energy advisers, a large number of individuals signed up for a solar heating system.

In Denmark a buyer group was established via the Web site www.soltilbud.dk (archived). The set-up improved price competition and lead to substantial lower prices on solar water heaters.
