The Southwest German power Handels GmbH , in short SüdWestStrom , is a public utility -Kooperationsunternehmen. 30 municipal utilities from Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria founded the new company in 1999. In the course of the liberalization of the energy market, they wanted to prepare for competition through the merger. Südwestdeutsche Stromhandels GmbH now has 60 shareholders nationwide. Over 200 energy suppliers are shareholders in one of the SüdWestStrom companies or are SüdWestStrom customers. This makes SüdWestStrom one of the largest public utility cooperations in Europe.

The company offers various models of electricity and natural gas supply for municipal utilities. The offers range from procurement and portfolio management to balancing group and energy data management.

Services

The company provides services primarily for municipal energy suppliers. This includes portfolio management and energy trading via energy data management, software and processing of gas and electricity networks as well as network billing. SüdWestStrom offers municipal utilities and citizens' cooperatives opportunities to participate in power plant projects, especially in the field of renewable energies. In addition, SüdWestStrom develops concepts for intelligent networks, virtual power plants and electricity storage. In November 2012, SüdWestStrom entered into a cooperation with heimkraft GmbH to develop and implement business models for decentralized mini block- type thermal power stations.

Power plant projects

As a municipal utility company, the company offers municipal energy supply companies stakes in modern large-scale power plant projects. SüdWestStrom develops its own power plant projects and investigates opportunities for municipal utilities to participate in existing or planned power plants. The aim is to sustainably strengthen municipal utilities by expanding their own generation capacities for the increasing competition on the liberalized electricity market.
