An overview of our business segments

As an integrated energy company, the EnBW Group operates along the entire value chain offering an extensive portfolio of services.

As part of our 2020 strategy, we realigned our business model in June 2013 and laid the foundations for EnBW to successfully assert its position in light of the changed conditions on the energy market. We have been rigorously implementing our strategy since then. This also included restructuring the Group as an integrated company, which has involved the merging of important business entities and placing the value-added stages of generation, trade, sales and services into individual business units. As "ONE EnBW" we are leaner, more effective and more customeroriented.

Our sales activities play a key role in the newly restructured Group, which was realigned to meet the demands of the German Energiewende. We want to continue being the best partner for our customers for all things related to energy – which is why we consistently concentrate on their needs. The Sales segment encompasses sales of electricity and gas, as well as the provision of energy-related services such as billing services or energy supply, energy-saving contracting or new energy solutions as well as the cooperation with local authorities and public utilities.

We are responding to the demand for greater autonomy when it comes to energy by offering new local, decentralised solutions and are thus also strengthening our relationships with local authorities and municipal utilities.

The Grids segment encompasses the transmission and distribution of electricity and gas, the provision of grid-related services , the supply of water, the security of supply and sytem stability. Our grid subsidiary TransnetBW is responsible for maintaining, operating and expanding the transmission grid in Baden-Württemberg. Therefore, the transmission business remains within the EnBW Group, while ensuring strict compliance with ownership unbundling regulations.

Together with other grid operators in the EnBW Group, our subsidiary Netze BW GmbH is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the electricity and gas distribution grids for large parts of Baden-Württemberg and also for the water business of EnBW.

We own a broad portfolio of renewable energy-based power plants, in which hydropower and wind power play an important role. The expansion of renewable energies is one of our overriding goals. Our activities in this segment range from project development and management; construction and operation of renewable energy power plants.

We also attract investment in our renewable energy-based power plants not only from institutional investors but, above all, from local authorities, municipal utilities and citizens in the form of suitable participation models.

This segment is tasked with advisory services, construction, operation and decommissioning/dismantling of thermal generation plants; electricity and gas trading; risk management of market-related risks; development of gas midstream business, district heating; waste management / environmental services; provision of system services; direct marketing of renewable energy power plants.
