    aWATTar is an energy supplier start-up that brings „energy in sync with nature“. We provide incentives for people (and automated devices) to shift their consumption to times with a high proportion of solar and wind energy in the grid. Our clients can thus both save money and actively support the transition to a renewable future. Our current focus markets are Austria and Germany.

    - Experience with PostgreSQL and XML parsing libraries a plus
