The Erlanger Stadtwerke AG (CBI) are the regional utility company of the city of Erlangen . It is 100 percent owned by the city of Erlangen.

history

The Erlanger Stadtwerke go back to the Erlanger Gasgesellschaft AG (founded in 1858), the waterworks founded in 1891 and the electricity company established in 1902. In May 1915 the three companies were merged to form the municipal technical works in Erlangen , which were renamed Stadtwerke Erlangen in 1939 . On January 1, 1967, the previous municipal company was converted into a stock corporation. 1997/98 a partial privatization was planned, but in a referendum was rejected by a large majority. The Erlangen Stadtwerke are still wholly owned by the City of Erlangen. In 2001, the corporate structure was converted into a group structure , among other things, to comply with the requirements of the liberalization of the energy market and tax law.

The Stadtwerke operated a gas works on Äußere Brucker Straße until 1963 . The power station on Fuchsenwiese, which was later converted into a cultural center (opened in 1982) by the city of Erlangen, was also operated until the 1960s. Erlanger Stadtwerke has been operating a thermal power station on Äußere Brucker Strasse since 1961 , in which, after various conversions, extensions and modernizations , electricity is produced in addition to heat for district heating .

In 1949, the Stadtwerke also took over the operation of the Erlangen city transport system, and in the 1960s also operated an indoor swimming pool. In the mid-1990s, the Erlanger Stadtwerke entered the telecommunications market with a joint subsidiary with the Nürnberger and Fürth Stadtwerke ( NEFkom ). The NEFkom went 2004 in M-net , on which the CBI are involved today.

Since the liberalization of the energy market at the end of the 1990s, Erlanger Stadtwerke has been competing in its core business of electricity and gas supply. The network, on the other hand, is not in competition, but is subject to regulation by the Federal Network Agency .

Business areas

Network operation

The Erlangen Stadtwerke operate the distribution network for electricity and gas in the city of Erlangen. At the end of 2016, the power grid was 1,038.9 kilometers long with 20,065 house connections, and the amount of energy withdrawn was 671.1 million kWh . The natural gas network has a length of 332.2 km. There are 7,166 house connections, the energy consumption was 962.9 million kWh.

power supply

The Erlangen Stadtwerke are active in both power generation and power supply , as well as gas supply and the generation and supply of heat. The Erlangen Stadtwerke are the basic suppliers of electricity and gas for the city of Erlangen.

Electricity is generated via combined heat and power in the ESTW's thermal power station and in ten combined heat and power plants operated by ESTW. In addition, ESTW operates a hydropower plant as well as several photovoltaic and wind power plants . Through its stake in Regnitzstromverwertung AG (RSV, 33 percent share of ESTW) as well as other company investments, the municipal utilities are involved in other plants. The RSV also takes over the purchase of the amount of electricity that the ESTW does not cover from its own production.

In 2016, ESTW sold around 366 million kWh of electricity and almost 770 million kWh of gas. About half of the gas was consumed by the ESTW's own thermal power station, and 323 million kWh went directly to end consumers. District and local heating were supplied to 1,941 households that used around 400 million kWh.

Water supply

The ESTW supply the city of Erlangen with water, with the exception of the districts that were incorporated in 1972. They also manage the operations and management of the Eltersdorfer Group's water supply association , which outside the Erlangen city area also includes Tuchenbach, Ober- and Untermichelbach, and supply the communities of Bubenreuth , Möhrendorf and Buckenhof , which distribute the water independently. In 2016, 14,102 house connections were supplied in its own network, sales totaled 7.1 million cubic meters .
