Stadtwerke Springe

Stadtwerke Springe is a municipal energy utility based in Springe, Lower Saxony, Germany. It serves as the basic supplier (Grundversorger) for electricity and gas in the town of Springe and also offers electricity and gas contracts in the neighboring municipalities of Bad Münder, Wennigsen, Gehrden, Hemmingen, and Pattensen. The company operates two local heating networks and one district heating network, and it promotes the expansion of electric mobility in Springe. Founded in October 2008 as a majority municipal energy supply company, Stadtwerke Springe is owned by the town of Springe (50.5%) and by Stadtwerke Hameln Weserbergland, BS Energy, and Veolia Deutschland (each 16.5%). As the majority shareholder, the town influences the infrastructure and strategy of energy supply. The utility purchased the town's gas network and has held basic supplier status for electricity and gas since 2013. The company's managing director is Olaf Koschnitzki, and the chairman of the supervisory board is Christian Springfeld. Stadtwerke Springe sells 100% green electricity generated from renewable energy sources in its supply area. It also delivers heat for building heating through two local heating networks and one district heating network in Springe and the neighboring municipality of Wennigsen. The local heating network covers a large part of Springe's town center. The two local heating networks in Springe and Wennigsen are each supplied by their own on-site facilities: the Springe network (Großer Graben) is powered by a natural gas combined heat and power (CHP) plant, while the energy-efficient quarter in Wennigsen uses a pellet boiler and a natural gas CHP. The district heating network is operated by a biomass heating plant, a biogas plant, and four biogas CHP units, generating heat through combined heat and power. Stadtwerke Springe positions itself as a local energy provider with personal service and competitive prices, offering products such as DeisterStrom24 (green electricity at no extra charge) and DeisterGas24 (reliable, affordable, fair). The utility also provides heat pumps with subsidies of up to 70% and is rolling out smart meters gradually. It is active in electric mobility and maintains a customer hotline, though at times high demand can lead to longer wait times.
