Stadtwerke Glückstadt

Stadtwerke Glückstadt is the municipal utility company of the town of Glückstadt in the Steinburg district of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is a 100% municipal enterprise, meaning its success is intended to benefit the whole town. Its core task is the reliable supply of electricity, heat, water and internet services to the people of Glückstadt and the surrounding region. The company also operates the Fortunabad swimming pool, the Kommunalservice and the Binnenhafen, contributing to local quality of life. The company traces its history back to the 19th century, when it brought light to public streets and squares with gas lanterns and built the town's first central water supply. Today it focuses on a rapid and sustainable energy transition to protect the climate, offering green electricity (Ökostrom) and natural gas (Erdgas) among its products. It runs a service center at Bahnhofstraße 1 in Glückstadt, a service hotline and an emergency service. Stadtwerke Glückstadt is part of the Stadtwerke Steinburg association, founded together with the municipal utilities of Brunsbüttel, Itzehoe and Wilster. The goal of this association is to jointly advance important projects such as e-mobility, digitalization and the expansion of renewable energies, to streamline processes for customers, and to use personnel and technical resources more effectively. The association underlines the company's central aim of being "Eure Stadtwerke" — your municipal utility — with partnership-based service, sustainable products and future-oriented concepts. The company is guided by four principles: everyone is important, participation, thinking ahead, and recognizing opportunities. It emphasizes shared success with customers, shareholders, supervisory bodies and employees. Recent activities include the planned renovation of the Fortunabad, with a citizen participation model promoted under the motto "Fortunabad Beteiligung statt Bitcoin", and the processing of around 55,000 annual invoices by its service team.

Stadtwerke Glückstadt describes its history as a long one, dating back to the 19th century. Early projects included bringing light to public streets and squares with gas lanterns and establishing the town's first central water supply. These early infrastructure efforts laid the foundation for the modern municipal utility. Over time, the company's core task evolved into the reliable supply of electricity, heat, water and internet services for the people of Glückstadt. It also took on broader municipal responsibilities, operating the Kommunalservice, the Fortunabad swimming pool and the Binnenhafen, which is described as a jewel in the town center. In recent years, the company has emphasized the need for a rapid and sustainable energy transition to protect the climate. It founded the Stadtwerke Steinburg association together with the municipal utilities of Brunsbüttel, Itzehoe and Wilster. This cooperation aims to jointly advance projects such as e-mobility, digitalization and the expansion of renewable energies, to streamline processes for customers, and to use personnel and technical resources more effectively. The association reflects the company's aim of being 'Eure Stadtwerke' with partnership-based service, sustainable products and future-oriented concepts.
