Stadtwerke Wittenberge

Stadtwerke Wittenberge GmbH is the municipal utility company serving the town of Wittenberge in the Prignitz district of Brandenburg, Germany. According to its official website, the company has been operating since 1992 and describes its mission as sustainably safeguarding quality of life in Wittenberge and the surrounding region. Its core business is the reliable and resource-conserving supply of electricity, gas, heat and drinking water, and it also acts as a network operator responsible for a modern and efficient infrastructure. In addition, the company provides wastewater services, rounding out a full portfolio of municipal utility services. The company positions itself under the slogan "Energie mit WIR-Gefühl" (roughly, "energy with a WE feeling"), emphasising a close, personal relationship with its customers and the local community. Its service offering includes electricity and natural gas tariffs, heat supply, water and wastewater, and customer tools such as a tariff calculator and a mobile app that lets customers adjust their monthly instalments conveniently. The company also runs a customer office, which it reopened at a freshly renovated location on Bahnstraße 76 in Wittenberge. Beyond its supply mandate, Stadtwerke Wittenberge presents community engagement and responsibility as fixed components of its corporate philosophy. It acts as a sponsor and supporter across a broad range of social and civic activities, stating that it stands up for the people of Wittenberge and works together with them to shape the town's sustainable future. Marketing initiatives such as a customer referral programme — offering a €30 credit to both the referring customer and the new electricity or gas customer — reflect this community-oriented approach. As a Stadtwerk (municipal utility), the company is a locally rooted, typically municipally owned enterprise rather than a listed corporation. Its operations are focused on its home town and the surrounding region rather than on national or international markets. The company also warns customers about misleading letters from private metering-point operators, clarifying that such advertising is not official correspondence from Stadtwerke Wittenberge or from the legislator — an indication of its role as the recognised local supplier and metering-point operator in its service area.

Stadtwerke Wittenberge GmbH has operated as the municipal utility of Wittenberge since 1992, according to the company's own account on its official website. The company was established in the period following German reunification, when municipalities in the former East Germany reorganised their communal service provision into locally owned Stadtwerke companies. Since then it has served as the town's provider of electricity, gas, heat, drinking water and wastewater services, and as the operator of the corresponding networks. Over the decades the company has developed a broad service portfolio covering the full range of municipal utility functions: energy supply (electricity, natural gas and heat), water supply, wastewater disposal and network operation. It describes its mandate as ensuring a reliable and resource-conserving supply for Wittenberge and the surrounding region, and as maintaining a modern, efficient infrastructure. In more recent years the company has expanded its customer-facing digital services, introducing a mobile app that allows customers to adjust their monthly instalments conveniently, alongside an online tariff calculator for electricity and gas. It has also continued to invest in its physical customer service presence, reopening its customer office at a freshly renovated location on Bahnstraße 76 in Wittenberge. The company has pursued community engagement as part of its corporate philosophy, acting as a sponsor and supporter across a broad range of social activities in the town. Marketing measures such as the customer referral programme, which grants a €30 credit to both the referring customer and the newly acquired electricity or gas customer, reflect its emphasis on local relationships. The company has also publicly warned customers about misleading advertising letters from private, competing metering-point operators, clarifying that these are not official communications from Stadtwerke Wittenberge or from the legislator.
