The WEMAG AG is a regional energy provider with a focus on the region of Mecklenburg and the Westprignitz .
The company is based in the state capital Schwerin , Obotritenring No. 40. The sales activities focus on the supply of electricity and gas to private, commercial and branch customers. In addition, grid services and other services relating to the topic of energy supply are offered. Private and commercial customers throughout Germany are also supplied outside of the WEMAG network.
history
Electrification in the Schwerin / West Mecklenburg region began around 1900. To this end, the Landes-Elektrizitäts-Werke (LEW) were founded in 1920 and were taken over by Märkisches Elektrizitätswerk AG (MEW) in 1931 . After the Second World War and several changes of name , electricity and gas supplies were merged and transferred to the VEB Energieversorgung Schwerin combine .
In 1990 WEMAG was founded as West Mecklenburgische Energieversorgung AG . In 1994 the Treuhandanstalt sold 51 percent to Hamburgische Elektrizitätswerke (HEW) and transferred 49 percent of the shares to the municipalities in the supply area. After HEW was sold to Vattenfall Europe , WEMAG AG belonged to the Vattenfall Group. The utility companies Stadtwerke Rostock AG and WEMAG considered a merger in 2008 . However, the talks broke off in July without an agreement.
After Vattenfall planned to sell its 80 percent stake in mid-2009, the previous municipal shareholders (268 municipalities) took over this stake at the end of November 2009 for 170 million euros. A share of 25.1 percent of this was to be given to Thüga AG . This transaction was completed on January 5, 2010 with the approval of the relevant antitrust authorities .
WEMAG has been operating a lithium-ion battery park in Schwerin since September 2014 to buffer fluctuations in the power grid, e.g. B. through renewable energy sources . In July 2017, the expansion of the battery storage facility went into operation. The output was doubled to 10 MW and the storage capacity tripled to 15 MWh.

Coverage area
The power distribution network of WEMAG Netz GmbH covers an area of around 8,000 square kilometers in West Mecklenburg, West Prignitz and the municipality of Amt Neuhaus an der Elbe, which until 1993 belonged to Mecklenburg and now Lower Saxony . It has a length of around 15,000 kilometers. The network management was carried out between 2003 and 2016 by Stromnetz Hamburg (formerly: Vattenfall Distribution Hamburg GmbH). Since a rural area with numerous decentralized regenerative energy generation systems requires a different network management than an urban supply area, WEMAG put its own network control center into operation on October 31, 2016.
In 2017, 708 million kilowatt hours of energy and 1,000 million kWh of gas were sold. The feed-in from regenerative generation systems, on the other hand, amounted to 2,770 million kWh, so that this now triples electricity sales. As a result, feed back into the transmission network took place on 354 days. 60 percent wind power, 27 percent biomass and 12 percent photovoltaic systems were involved in the generation.
