What energielenker does

energielenker is a privately-held German energy services group headquartered in Münster, operating since 2011 under four business segments: energielenker projects (municipal development and climate protection concepts), energielenker service (PV systems, charging infrastructure, THG quota services), energielenker solutions (proprietary energy management software and hardware), and energielenker green assets (CHP, district heating, biogas contracting across 21 operating sites with 5 MW electrical and 30 MW thermal capacity). The group sells a manufacturer-independent product portfolio including Enbas (home/commercial energy management system coupling PV, heat pumps, batteries, and EV wallboxes), Lobas (dynamic load management for EV charging with 200+ OEM interoperability), EZA-Regler/Parkregler (VDE-certified grid connection controllers for plants 500 kW and above), the recently launched CEMS commercial energy management system (Feb 2026), and the Charge@ suite for workplace, residential, and public EV charging. Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware product sales (via direct sales and online shop), energy contracting (planning, financing, operation of energy systems with multi-year supply contracts), professional services and consulting, and municipal development engagements. Pricing is quote-based across services, with unit pricing on hardware licenses and a €120/hour travel rate disclosed in the AGB.

The customer base spans municipalities and cities (Klimaschutz Leverkusen, Stadt Rheinbach), industrial firms (Jungheinrich AG, SPIE, con terra), healthcare providers (Klinikum Lippe, Diakonische Stiftung Wittekindshof, Euregio Klinik Nordhron), transport operators (Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe), energy utilities (swb), and retail chains (Ostermann Einrichtungshäuser). Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, an installation partner network of electricians and trade businesses, an e-commerce shop for Lobas hardware, and recurring contracting relationships. The group operates as a GmbH & Co. KG holding (HRA 10832 Münster) with wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (solutions, service, projects) and a Verwaltungs-GmbH general partner; managing directors are Tobias Dollberg and Dr. Andreas Robeck. Since December 2025, energielenker projects GmbH has been a founding member of Klimakommune Deutschland e.V., the successor to the European Energy Award in Germany, with Reiner Tippkötter serving as deputy chairman and employees deployed as Klimacoaches. The company participates regularly in The smarter E Europe and E-World energy & water trade fairs and has no disclosed external parent, private equity, or venture capital backing.

Core offering

energielenker delivers consulting, technical planning, and implementation services for the energy transition alongside proprietary energy management hardware and software. Its product portfolio includes the Enbas Home Energy Management System, Lobas dynamic Load Management System for EV charging, EZA-Regler certified generation plant controllers, and the CEMS Commercial Energy Management System. The company also finances, builds, and operates energy systems through energy contracting, and develops integrated climate protection, climate adaptation, and neighborhood concepts for municipalities.

Product overview

Energielenker offers a modular energy management portfolio combining hardware products (EZA-Regler, Lobas load management) and software solutions (Enbas HEMS, CEMS for commercial use) alongside the Charge@ charging solutions suite. The products are organized within four business divisions: projects, service, solutions, and green assets. The Lobas system provides dynamic load management for EV charging with manufacturer-neutral interoperability, while Enbas serves as the home/commercial energy management platform managing PV, heat pumps, battery storage, and wallboxes. CEMS extends commercial energy management capabilities. The EZA-Regler provides certified grid connection control for larger PV systems (500 kW+), and the Charge@ family offers workplace, residential, and public EV charging solutions. The portfolio supports dynamic electricity tariffs, time-variable grid charges, and forecast-based optimization.
