Companies
Leipziger Stadtwerke are the market leaders for electricity and heating in Leipzig. In the 2018 financial year, they were used as a source of energy and heat for 246,965 electricity, 23,837 gas and 5,771 district heating consumption points. The network length of the respective segments was 3,349 km for electricity, 1,084 km for gas and 496 km for district heating.
history
The Leipzig city council decided in 1836 to build a gas lighting facility. This was put into operation in 1838. Around 1840 it supplied 877 public flames - exhibition halls, hotels and restaurants as well as 60 private customers, in 1870 the plant supplied around 2,000 street lamps. When the plant reached its capacity limits, the second municipal gas works in Connewitz was completed in 1885 . Finally, in 1895, the first municipal power station was established. In 1912 the first district heating was supplied to public institutions.
A few years after the Second World War , the Stadtwerke were dissolved in 1949, after which a merger of the municipal business enterprises (KWU) was formed . With the opening of KEW Kraftwerke Leipzig in 1954, VEB Energieversorgung Leipzig was founded. In 1971 Leipzig's conversion to direct current was completed. The "Max Reimann" gas coking plant, which distributed the gas supply via long-distance gas, was shut down in 1977.
After the fall of the Wall in 1990, Stadtwerke Wärmeversorgung und Anlagenreparatur Leipzig GmbH was established. Finally, Stadtwerke Leipzig GmbH was founded on July 1, 1992 with the merger of this and the municipal gas supply. A year later, the company also took over the power supply. After an explosion occurred during test runs in 1994 at the heating power station Eutritzscher Straße GmbH & Co. KG, the company guaranteed the available risk-free power supply in 1995. In 1996 Gasnetz Leipzig GmbH & Co. KG was founded.
In 1997 the majority company LVV Leipziger Versorgungs- und Verkehrsgesellschaft was launched, which still owns 100% of the Leipziger Stadtwerke. The city of Leipzig has a 100% share in this company. In 1998 Mitteldeutsche Energieversorgung AG (MEAG) took over 40% of Stadtwerke Leipzig. Fernwärmenetz Leipzig GmbH & Co.KG was founded in 1999 with which the network control room for electricity, gas and district heating was created. As a result, this network control center took holdings in Polish energy providers. In 2000 the company building "Leipzig Southeast" was inaugurated.
In July 2019, the supervisory board of Leipziger Stadtwerke and Leipziger Versorgungs- und Verkehrsgesellschaft decided on a future concept for a sustainable heat supply. This includes phasing out coal power by 2023, from which point district heating will no longer be drawn from the Lippendorf coal-fired power plant .
Investments in generating plants
As a contributor to the energy turnaround, Leipziger Stadtwerke is also adapting itself strategically and technically to the new requirements.
An important step on this path was, for example, the modernization of the gas and steam turbine system , which generates electricity and heat in an environmentally friendly manner. It now enables economical and more sustainable work on the energy markets.
Another milestone was the construction of a state-of-the-art thermal storage facility in the south of the city. The Leipziger Stadtwerke are among the first large municipal utilities in Germany to rely on this future technology. The Leipziger Stadtwerke also installed additional hot water generators in Schönefeld and the city center. They ensure that everyone in Leipzig is reliably supplied with heat all year round.
Leipziger Stadtwerke has been investing in renewable energies for many years, especially for ecological electricity and heat generation. You own biomass power plants in Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, which are among the most modern in Germany.
The construction of a new gas-fired power plant on the site of the former southern heating power plant in Connewitz is intended to replace the supply from the Lippendorf power plant . 150 million euros are being invested in the new power plant with combined heat and power . Of this amount, 60 million euros in two gas turbines of the type Siemens Energy SGT-800, each with 62 MW el nominal power. The heat supply is to be supplemented by a solar thermal power plant , a biomass power plant and decentralized combined heat and power plants . In the field of renewable energies , Leipziger Stadtwerke has been working with Green City since 2019 .

Concessions
power grid
In the incorporated districts of Böhlitz-Ehrenberg , Engelsdorf , Göbschelwitz , Hartmannsdorf , Hohenheida , Holzhausen , Knautnaundorf , Lausen , Liebertwolkwitz , Lindenthal , Lützschena , Miltitz , Mölkau , Plaußig , Radefeld industrial area, Seehausen , Stahmeln, Rückitzsch and Burghausen are the Rückitzsch and Burghausen - Concession contracts in 2010, 2011 and 2017 expired. The previous concessionaire was Envia Mitteldeutsche Energie . In 2011, Envia Mitteldeutsche Energie was just awarded the contract in a concession award procedure in accordance with Section 46 EnWG . The city of Leipzig repeated the procedure in 2014. Now the Stadtwerke Leipzig prevailed. The district court of Leipzig confirmed the award to the municipal utilities. The public utility company and Envia Mitteldeutsche Energie are still (in court) disputing the release of the power distribution network (as of May 23, 2018).
Gas network
In the unincorporated hamlets Böhlitz-Ehrenberg , Engelsdorf , Hartmannsdorf , Holzhausen , Knautnaundorf , Lausen , Liebertwolkwitz , Lindenthal , Lützschena , Miltitz , Mölkau , Plaußig , Radefeld , Seehausen , Stahmeln, Wiederitzsch , Rückmarsdorf , Kleinpösna , Baalsdorf , Burghausen , Althen and Podelwitz are the gas concession contracts between 2011 and 2015 expired. Altkonzessionär was MITGAS . In 2015, Stadtwerke Leipzig was awarded the contract in a concession award procedure in accordance with Section 46 EnWG . The Leipzig Regional Court initially confirmed the award to the Stadtwerke. Thereupon the Stadtwerke Leipzig demanded the release of the gas distribution network from MITGAS. In the first instance, the Magdeburg district court approved the municipal utilities. The reason for this is essentially the fact that the City of Leipzig has room for maneuver in setting up the award selection criteria. Upon appeal by MITGAS before the Naumburg Higher Regional Court , the judgment of the Magdeburg Regional Court was amended and it was established that the gas concession agreement concluded between the City of Leipzig and Stadtwerke Leipzig is null and void . This is justified with the double mandate of several city councilors who were also supervisory boards of the municipal utilities, which is inadmissible under energy law . This causes a conflict of interests and a prohibition of participation in the award procedure. In May 2020, the Federal Court of Justice largely followed the Magdeburg Regional Court, where the proceedings are now again. The conflict of interest is no greater with a double mandate holder than with simple council members. Participation does not make an award fundamentally null and void, provided there is no further inadmissible influence and the procedure is transparent. In addition, the decision was unanimous.
