EVN

What EVN does

EVN AG is an Austrian regulated energy and environmental services group headquartered in Maria Enzersdorf, Lower Austria. The company operates a vertically integrated utility spanning renewable electricity generation (561 MW wind, 133 MWp solar, plus large-scale battery storage at Theiß and Dürnrohr), regulated electricity distribution through its wholly-owned Netz Niederösterreich subsidiary, and retail supply of electricity, gas, district heating, and water to residential, business, agricultural, and municipal customers. Beyond core utilities, EVN has built adjacent businesses in photovoltaic installation, battery storage, e-mobility (EVN Drive app, EVN Ladekarte, AVIA Österreich partnership for charging expansion), and broadband telecommunications through its kabelplus subsidiary. The group employs approximately 7,000 people and is majority-owned by the state of Lower Austria (51%) with Wiener Stadtwerke holding 28.4%; shares trade on the Vienna Stock Exchange under EVNV.VI.

EVN's revenue model is built on a mix of regulated network tariffs, retail energy supply subscriptions (e.g., Optima Garant Sonne Strom two-zone tariff, Optima Aktiv Strom index-based tariff, district heating Wärme24), and emerging service revenue from e-mobility and photovoltaic contracting. Disclosed H1 2025/26 revenue reached EUR 1.8 billion with EBITDA of EUR 553.3 million (+7.9% YoY) and net income of EUR 312.4 million (+24.7% YoY). Pricing is anchored on smart-meter-enabled time-of-use products (e.g., 8.28 ct/kWh during solar hours, 12.60 ct/kWh peak; average ~10 ct/kWh net), bundled with photovoltaic, battery storage, and EV charging solutions under multi-service contracts.

Technology and capability depth center on the proprietary CyberGrid flexibility management software—an in-house system that optimizes energy trading on day-ahead and intraday markets and manages battery storage dispatch across EVN's renewable fleet. This sits within a wider digital infrastructure that includes smart meter quarter-hour consumption data, the Meine EVN customer self-service portal, and the EVN Drive e-mobility app with access to over 140,000 charging points. The Strategy 2030 program commits approximately EUR 1 billion in annual investment through 2030—four-fifths directed to Lower Austria—covering grid expansion, renewable build-out, battery storage scaling to 300 MW, e-mobility, and water infrastructure. International project business was divested to Strabag for EUR 100 million cash plus EUR 106 million in intragroup receivables, refocusing the group on its Austrian and Bulgarian franchises.

• EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg: German integrated utility with generation, regulated networks, and retail across Germany; comparable vertically integrated business model with growing renewable and e-mobility segments.

Regional players

• CEZ Group: Largest Central European integrated utility, headquartered in the Czech Republic, with generation, distribution, and retail across CEE. Comparable in scale and vertical structure to EVN but operating primarily in a different national market.
• Energie Steiermark: Styrian regional utility offering electricity, gas, heating and energy services in southeastern Austria. Comparable business model to EVN but serving a different Austrian state.
• Salzburg AG: Multi-utility serving the Salzburg region with electricity, gas, heating, water, broadband and e-mobility. Comparable product breadth to EVN at a smaller scale within a single Austrian state.

Emerging players
