What we have achieved so far
In the EnBW HyperNetwork,
green electricity is already being used at over 250,000 charging points in Europe.
Quality living spaces
We must rethink many things to lead a climate-neutral life: how we get around, how we stay in touch with each other and how we live and work. We make this possible by creating the necessary mobility and supply services.
Goodbye, fuel pump – hello, charging station
Besides renewable energies and intelligent grids, electric drive systems are the third pillar of the infrastructure that will enable us to lead a climate-neutral life. Whether in the city or in the countryside, by switching to electrically powered public and private transport, we can remain mobile even without petrol and diesel.
Before we can do that, we need to replace the filling station infrastructure that has grown over the last century with charging stations on public roads and in homes within a few years. As an award-winning e-mobility provider with Germany’s largest quick-charging network and the EnBW HyperNetwork with over 500,000 charging points in Europe, we can make a valuable contribution here. In addition, with the private charging stations supplied by our subsidiary SENEC, we make it possible for people to “refuel” with green electricity at home – including from their own solar power plant.
We are also consistently focusing on e-mobility within EnBW: By 2025, our car fleet is set to be fully electric, apart from transport and technical vehicles. To this end, we are installing 2,000 additional charging stations at our sites in the same period.
What we still want to achieve
By 2025, we want to install at least another
internal charging points at EnBW sites – more than one a day.
Toward climate neutrality at top speed
Climate-neutral traffic in Europe is made possible by our EnBW HyperNetwork. We are making great strides toward expanding it: Since 2020 alone, we have increased the number of charging points sixfold to over 500,000.
Using the EnBW mobility+ app, our customers can charge their e-cars with green electricity in 17 countries – at the same price everywhere. We are regularly crowned Germany’s best e-mobility provider for this service.
Climate-friendly mobility – even within the company
In addition to our services for customers, internal e-mobility is another important part of our journey toward becoming a climate-neutral company. At present, around 40 percent of our company and pool vehicles are electric; by 2025, the entire car fleet is set to be carbon-free. To this end, we are installing at least 2,000 additional charging points – more than one a day – at our sites in the same period and giving our employees the opportunity to lease e-cars on attractive terms.
Of course, not driving altogether is even more climate-friendly. That is why we also promote other forms of e-mobility: Our employees can charge their e-bikes at work free of charge and use electric, public transport for business trips. Besides the train, which we always prefer to domestic flights, this also includes our own electric shuttle buses to selected EnBW sites.
Connected by climate change mitigation
In order to lead a climate-neutral life, we must offer people access to renewable energies and make it possible for them to use them sparingly. To do this, we need a high-performance grid infrastructure that enables us to distribute resources flexibly. Besides electricity cables and gas and water pipes, this also includes telecommunications systems that allow intelligent grid operation and make many trips superfluous.
By expanding our grids in and around Baden-Württemberg, we are connecting more and more people with renewable energy sources and high-speed Internet – also and especially in rural areas. This has enabled us to connect more than two million customers to date.
Our grid companies NetCom BW, Netze BW, Plusnet and terranets bw are following their own path toward climate neutrality. Netze BW already achieved this back in 2021.

What we still want to achieve
By 2025, we want to create a further
fiber-optic connections.
How we are bringing the Energiewende to the road
EnBW’s own grid companies are responsible for grid planning, construction and operation. Their expertise in the fields of electricity, gas, water and telecommunications enables us to bring climate neutrality to the road – and to homes.
How we want to live (and work)
Buildings are responsible for a considerable share of our energy consumption and thus our greenhouse gas emissions. Heating and hot water account for most of this, followed by electrical appliances. Developing energy-saving properties and districts is therefore an important part of our journey toward climate neutrality.
At the same time, the necessary modernization of our buildings gives us the opportunity to integrate communal concepts such as car sharing, circular economy principles and new technologies (“smart home”). This not only enables us to protect the climate and the environment, but also create a more inclusive and comfortable way of living side by side.
By adopting these measures, we want to cut energy use by one fifth and reduce carbon emissions by three quarters in EnBW buildings by 2030 compared to 2018. At the same time, we are actively involved in model districts and playing our part in putting the climate-neutral working and living methods of tomorrow into practice today.
What we have achieved so far
Since 2018, we have reduced the carbon emissions of our property portfolio by
