RheinWerke GmbH

RheinWerke GmbH (stylized RheinWerke GmbH) is a German energy joint venture founded on 16 May 2013 as a 50/50 subsidiary of Stadtwerke Düsseldorf AG and RheinEnergie AG of Cologne. Headquartered in Düsseldorf, the company was created to extend cooperation between the two municipal utilities beyond grid operations into the energy transition. Its business focuses on three core themes: electric mobility, district heating in the Rhineland metropolitan region (specifically the Cologne–Düsseldorf district heating network along the Rhine), and the expansion of renewable energy. The company initially operated without its own staff, drawing on personnel from its parent companies, and was to be advised by a board including shareholders and employee representatives. An early project was a 50 percent stake in the project company "Biogas Pool 3 für Stadtwerke GmbH & Co. KG," which builds a biogas upgrading plant in Wolfshagen, Brandenburg. The name is distinct from the similarly named former company 'Rheinwerk,' which made waste and recycling containers and merged into the ESE brand on 1 July 2013.
