What Stadtwerke Rosenheim does

Stadtwerke Rosenheim is a municipally owned multi-utility (Stadtwerke) headquartered in Rosenheim, Bavaria, owned by the City of Rosenheim and operating under the legal entity Stadtwerke Rosenheim GmbH & Co. KG alongside operating subsidiaries Stadtwerke Rosenheim Versorgungs GmbH and Stadtwerke Rosenheim Netze GmbH, with the telecom subsidiary komro. Founded around 1940 with district heating supply since 1957, the company supplies electricity, natural gas, district heating, district cooling, and drinking water to the Rosenheim region — covering approximately 80,000 people through 400 km of water pipeline and ~10,500 house connections, ~7,000 natural gas customers through 270 km of gas pipeline, and an expanding district heating and cooling network. Its own generation portfolio includes a Müllheizkraftwerk (waste-to-energy plant), gas engines, hydropower at Oberwöhr, and wood gasification under combined heat and power (Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung), producing roughly a quarter of its own electricity needs and supplying process steam to nearby industrial customers.

The company monetizes across multiple recurring tariff structures: monthly subscription billing for electricity (standard, dynamic, heat-pump, storage heating, construction power) and natural gas (tiered up to and beyond 50,000 kWh), annual consumption-plus-capacity pricing for district heating (FW1/FW2, summer/winter), and per-cubic-meter water charges (€2.20/m³ from 01.07.2026). Adjacent revenue lines include direct marketing of decentralized renewable energy through a virtual power plant (1,000+ plants / 400 MW / 1+ TWh aggregated by 2023), waste management (Wertstoffhof and landfill), public swimming facilities (Hallenbad and Freibad), electromobility services, and telecom services via komro. Distribution runs through a physical Kundenzentrum, the mein.swro.de self-service portal, telephone service, an online connection application portal, and field energy consulting.

Underlying technology includes UV-treated water wells, an in-house laboratory testing ~40 water-quality parameters, smart meters recording 15-minute consumption intervals feeding the Digitales Cockpit customer platform, and EMAS-certified environmental management across all operating divisions (valid through 2027). The company maintains multiple VDEW/DVGW market communication certifications, an Efb waste management certificate (valid through October 2026), and compliance with StromGVV, GasGVV, AVBFernwärmeV, and AVBWasserV regulatory frameworks.
