Stadtwerke Troisdorf

Stadtwerke Troisdorf is the municipal utility company serving the town of Troisdorf in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and the surrounding region. According to its own corporate communications, it has supplied the people of Troisdorf and the region with electricity, natural gas and drinking water for more than 100 years, and describes itself as a 'Top-Lokalversorger' (top local supplier) committed to fair prices, good service and a functioning local community. Its activities span energy supply, water, network operation, energy consulting, electromobility, fibre-optic broadband and heat solutions. The company positions itself as a 'Bürgerstadtwerk' — a citizens' municipal utility — that is deeply embedded in local civic life. Its product range includes electricity (including certified green power tariffs), natural gas, heat power (Wärmestrom), heat pumps, photovoltaic offerings, and fibre-optic internet for Troisdorf. It also operates the local electricity and gas distribution networks, providing non-discriminatory grid access to other market partners and handling approvals for feeding photovoltaic systems, combined heat and power plants and storage into its network. Stadtwerke Troisdorf is jointly held by municipal and regional energy shareholders. In 2023, within the so-called Rheinland cooperation, RheinEnergie AG transferred the shares it held in the Stadtwerke to its subsidiary rhenag (Rheinische Energie Aktiengesellschaft); the ownership ratios themselves did not change, and the established cooperation among the shareholders continued. The company has a strong employer brand in the region: it has been repeatedly recognised as one of Germany's best training companies and, according to its careers page, has been certified by kununu as a Top Company — among the top 5% of employers in Germany — for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. In 2021 the Stadtwerke introduced a new logo featuring a leaf motif, signalling a sharper focus on sustainability and modern energy solutions. The company actively promotes innovative energy solutions with its customers, offers career and apprenticeship pathways, and engages in local events and urban development. Its operations are closely tied to the town of Troisdorf, where it maintains its customer service presence and manages construction and network maintenance activities.

Stadtwerke Troisdorf traces its roots back more than a century of municipal utility service in Troisdorf. According to the company's own account, it has supplied the people of Troisdorf and the surrounding region with electricity, natural gas and drinking water for over 100 years, and its corporate history describes an almost 120-year development story during which the company has built a strong identity as a Bürgerstadtwerk — a municipal utility belonging to and serving the local citizenry. Over the decades the company expanded from basic energy and water supply into a broader municipal service provider. Its modern portfolio includes electricity and natural gas supply, drinking water, heat power (Wärmestrom), heat pump solutions, photovoltaic offerings, electromobility, energy consulting and fibre-optic broadband for Troisdorf. It also operates the local electricity and gas distribution networks, ensuring a secure and economical distribution infrastructure and granting non-discriminatory grid access to other market participants. The company handles approvals for feeding photovoltaic systems, combined heat and power plants and storage facilities into its network, and it maintains an ongoing programme of network maintenance and renewal, with major construction activities mapped for residents. A significant ownership development occurred in 2023. Within the so-called Rheinland cooperation, RheinEnergie AG transferred the shares it held in the Stadtwerke to its subsidiary rhenag (Rheinische Energie Aktiengesellschaft). The transaction did not change the ownership ratios, and the proven cooperation among the Stadtwerke's shareholders continued. This reflects the broader pattern of regional energy partnerships in the Rhineland, in which municipal utilities cooperate with larger regional energy companies while remaining anchored in local ownership. In 2021 the Stadtwerke introduced a new logo featuring a leaf motif, marking a visible rebranding toward sustainability and forward-looking energy policy. The company has also built a strong reputation as an employer: it has been repeatedly recognised among Germany's best training companies, and its careers page states that kununu certified it as a Top Company — among the top 5% of employers in Germany — in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. It offers apprenticeships, internships and roles ranging from back-office and sales to fitters and technicians, and many of its apprentices remain with the company. Today Stadtwerke Troisdorf presents itself as a modern, future-oriented municipal utility that actively shapes the energy transition together with its customers, promotes innovative energy solutions, and participates in local civic life — from urban development and business promotion to community events. Its green electricity product is certified by TÜV Rheinland as 100% generated in renewable energy installations, evidenced by guarantees of origin.
