SachsenEnergie

SachsenEnergie AG is a municipal utility and service company headquartered in Dresden, Saxony, Germany. It was formed in early 2021 through the merger of the Dresden-based energy provider Drewag with ENSO, which operated outside Dresden. The company is majority-owned by the City of Dresden via EnergieVerbund Dresden GmbH, with additional stakes held by the KBO Kommunale Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH and other municipal shareholders. Including subsidiaries such as SachsenNetze, SachsenGigaBit, SachsenServices and SachsenEnergieBau, the group employs over 4,000 people. SachsenEnergie supplies electricity, natural gas, district heating, water and telecommunications services to private and business customers across Saxony. Its product portfolio includes electricity and gas tariffs, heat pumps, solar installations, and high-speed internet with speeds up to 1,000 Mbit/s. The company positions itself as a regional provider deeply rooted in Saxony, emphasizing reliability and local engagement. The company is led by a three-member executive board chaired by Dr. Frank Brinkmann, who has been CEO since 2018, first at predecessor companies and then at SachsenEnergie. Dr. Axel Cunow serves as CFO, and Lars Seiffert as labor director. The supervisory board is chaired by Dresden's mayor, Dirk Hilbert. SachsenEnergie is active in sponsoring sports, culture and education across Saxony, supporting events such as the Dresden Canaletto city festival, Filmnächte am Elbufer, and Jugend forscht. Its headquarters at Friedrich-List-Platz 2 in Dresden has been an energy company site since 1923, and a new extension building was occupied in 2022.

SachsenEnergie AG was formed in early 2021 through the merger of Drewag (Dresdner Stadtwerke) and ENSO, the energy provider for regions outside Dresden. The merger combined Dresden's municipal utility with a broader Saxon energy supplier, creating a unified regional provider. The company's headquarters at Friedrich-List-Platz 2 in Dresden has a long history as an energy company site, dating back to 1923 when it was the seat of the Aktiengesellschaft Sächsische Werke, followed by the Energiebezirk Ost, the Energiekombinat Dresden, and after 1990 the ESAG and later ENSO. The City-Center office building at the corner of Friedrich-List-Platz and Bayrische Straße was constructed by 1996. In July 2022, a new extension building (parts E–F) was occupied, approximately 51 meters high with 18,000 square meters of office space for 900 employees, costing about 74 million euros. The adjacent City-Center (parts A–D) was renovated and completed in 2024, connected to the extension by a glass bridge, and now houses a SachsenEnergie customer center, a supermarket and other shops. The DREWAG – Stadtwerke Dresden GmbH was merged into SachsenEnergie as of July 1, 2026. The company operates through numerous subsidiaries including SachsenNetze GmbH, SachsenNetze HS.HD GmbH, SachsenServices GmbH, SachsenEnergieBau GmbH, SachsenGigaBit GmbH, SachsenIndustriewasser GmbH, Energieanlagen Frank Bündig GmbH, Systematics Network Services GmbH, and others. It employs over 4,000 people including subsidiaries.
