The former Energie -versorgung Schwaben AG (EVS) with headquarters in Stuttgart is one of the original companies of today's Energie Baden-Württemberg (EnBW) .
history
EVS was created as an energy supply company on April 1, 1939 through the merger of the Zweckverband Oberschwäbische Elektrizitätswerke (OEW) and Elektrizitäts -versorgung Württemberg AG (EVW), which in turn resulted from the merger of Württembergische Landes Elektrizitäts AG (WLAG) (founded October 12, 1918) and Württembergischer Sammschienen AG (WÜSAG) (founded July 25, 1923) on December 14, 1934.
At that time, the company itself did not see the founding as a start-up, as the rulers at the time had intended when they called for a name change to Energie -versorgung Schwaben . The first annual report was called a report on the 18th business year , which can be seen in the transformation of WLAG into a stock corporation. In other earlier presentations by the EVS, reference was made to the founding year 1918.
Effective January 1, 1997, EVS merged with Badenwerk AG to form Energie Baden-Württemberg AG (EnBW); the company's headquarters were in Karlsruhe. OEW brought all of its facilities, staff, and purchase and delivery contracts into the new company and received the corresponding equivalent value in shares in the new company EVS, which is the basis for today's 45.01 percent stake in EnBW.
The company recently supplied electricity to 3.5 million people in the Württemberg part , and district heating and gas in the eastern part of Baden-Württemberg . For the supply area of 12,500 km², EVS required around 23,000 GWh of electrical energy annually, 90% of which the company produced itself, the rest was obtained from the surrounding area or abroad.
Technical feature
A special feature of the EVS was that along numerous lines operated by this company, aerial cables hung in garlands on the earth or on an auxiliary rope were installed for the transmission of messages. Some of these cables were replaced by cantilever aerial cables after 1989, but the garland-shaped aerial cables are still present along many of these lines today.
Another characteristic feature are the cable down guides, which are braced with weights, in the middle of the guy masts, where cables are joined or where distribution or amplifier stations are located.
