Stadtwerke Werdau

Stadtwerke Werdau GmbH is the municipal utility (Stadtwerke) serving the town of Werdau and its surrounding region in Saxony, Germany. According to its own profile, it has been reliably supplying customers with energy since 1991, and describes itself as both a traditional company and a forward-looking service provider. Its core business is the supply of electricity (Strom), natural gas (Gas) and heat (Wärme) to private households and business customers, with dedicated sections of its offering for private customers (Privatkunden) and commercial customers (Geschäftskunden). Beyond straightforward energy supply, the company positions itself around modern energy services. It states that it generates district heating and electricity in its own combined heat and power plants (Blockheizkraftwerke), and that it invests in modern energy supply, efficient technology and the expansion of renewable energy solutions. Its service range includes solutions for photovoltaics, heat pumps, storage (including battery storage), electric mobility and electricity from renewable sources documented with guarantees of origin in line with statutory requirements. It also offers energy advice (Energieberatung) and operates an online customer portal. The company is a small local employer: its team page describes a workforce of around 50 employees handling customer needs around energy. The management (Geschäftsführung) is led by Hendrik Haertwig, with Anett Strauß as commercial manager (Kaufmännische Leitung), Andy Büttner as head of the service centre and André Troche as head of sales and marketing. To design individual tariffs, Stadtwerke Werdau has joined with other municipal utilities in the Kommunale Energiedienstleistungsgesellschaft Südsachsen mbH (KES), a partnership that allows it to conclude favourable energy contracts with suppliers. Named partners include several other Saxon municipal utilities as well as local Werdau bodies such as the town of Werdau and local sports and property management companies. Stadtwerke Werdau presents itself as closely tied to its region, emphasising social engagement and community involvement alongside its commercial activity, and uses the slogan "100% Werdau – 100% Energie". It publishes a quarterly customer magazine and maintains a range of customer services including a fault reporting line (Störungsmelder), a customer card and a call-back service. As a municipal GmbH, it is a private limited company rather than a listed public company.

Stadtwerke Werdau GmbH traces its role as the town's energy supplier to 1991, the year given in its own company profile as the start of its reliable energy supply to customers. This places its establishment in the period immediately after German reunification, when municipal utilities across the former East Germany were reorganised into locally owned companies, typically structured as GmbHs owned by the municipality. From its base in Werdau, a town in the Saxon district of Zwickau, the company built its business around the supply of electricity, natural gas and heat to households and businesses in the town and the surrounding region. Over time it describes itself as having developed from a traditional utility into a forward-looking service provider, investing in modern energy supply, efficient technology and the expansion of renewable energy solutions. A significant element of its operations is heat. The company states that it generates district heating and electricity in its own combined heat and power plants (Blockheizkraftwerke), an approach that links heat production with local electricity generation. It has also extended its offering into newer energy services, including photovoltaics, heat pumps, storage such as battery storage, electric mobility and renewable electricity documented with guarantees of origin in accordance with statutory requirements. To strengthen its position in energy procurement and tariff design, Stadtwerke Werdau joined with other municipal utilities in the Kommunale Energiedienstleistungsgesellschaft Südsachsen mbH (KES). This cooperative arrangement allows the participating utilities to conclude favourable energy contracts with suppliers. The company's listed partners include the municipal utilities of Oelsnitz (Vogtl.), Olbernhau, Schneeberg and Schkeuditz, as well as local Werdau organisations such as Sport und Freizeit GmbH Werdau, Gebäude- und Grundstücksverwaltung GmbH Werdau and the town of Werdau itself. In its present form the company is a small, locally focused employer of around 50 people. Its management team is led by Managing Director Hendrik Haertwig, supported by commercial manager Anett Strauß and department heads Andy Büttner (service centre) and André Troche (sales and marketing). It maintains a broad set of customer services, including an online customer portal, a fault reporting service, energy advice, a call-back service, a customer card and a quarterly customer magazine. Alongside its commercial activities, the company emphasises social engagement in its region, summarised in its slogan "100% Werdau – 100% Energie".
