PLAN-B NET ZERO AG

Berlin/Florence – October 27, 2026 -- PLAN-B NET ZERO AG, a German energy provider with about 115,000 customers and users and more than EUR 60 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), has won "World's Best Challenger Brand" at the CHARGE Awards Europe 2026.

CHARGE presented the award on October 19, 2026, at its Energy Brand Conference in Florence. The jury recognized PLAN-B's Neo Energy concept, which turns electricity from an interchangeable commodity into a digital energy system.

PLAN-B reports 115,000 users and EUR 60 million ARR since its 2023 founding

Bradley Mundt founded the company in April 2023. As of June 30, 2026, it had around 115,000 customers and users. By its own assessment, this makes PLAN-B one of the fastest-growing energy platforms in the DACH region.

Berlin – September 09, 2026 -- PLAN-B NET ZERO AG and river-cleanup company everwave have tied clean-energy subscriptions directly to plastic removal, letting customers convert monthly add-on payments into a fixed volume of waste extracted from rivers before it reaches the ocean.

Impact tariffs convert 1 euro into 1 kilogram of plastic removed from waterways

Under the partnership, active since 2026, customers on PLAN-B NET ZERO's impact tariffs can add between 1 and 5 euros per month. Each euro funds the removal of one kilogram of plastic waste from rivers by everwave, before it enters the sea. "That's not about sacrifice or activism, it's a system that simply works in the background and still moves something," said Bradley Mundt, founder and CEO of PLAN-B NET ZERO.
