Stadtwerke Klagenfurt

What Stadtwerke Klagenfurt does

Stadtwerke Klagenfurt AG is the municipally-owned multi-utility of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, the state capital of Carinthia (Kärnten), Austria, wholly owned by the City of Klagenfurt. Its core revenue streams span electricity supply and grid operation (electricity sourced 100% from CO2-neutral, water-based renewable generation including hydro, wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal), natural gas, district heating (Fernwärme) via RKMG, and water supply — where it is the largest provider in Carinthia. Network and generation functions sit in core subsidiary EKG Energie Klagenfurt GmbH, while regional public transport and bus lines are operated by KMG Klagenfurt Mobil GmbH (KlagenfurtMobil). Telecommunications are delivered via fiber (Glasfaser) to business customers.

Beyond regulated utilities, Stadtwerke operates a sizable leisure portfolio on Lake Wörthersee: three Strandbäder (Strandbad Klagenfurt, Strandbad Loretto, Strandbad Maiernigg) that together logged roughly 563,000 visitors in the 2025 season, plus the planned Alpen-Adria Familien- und Sportbad indoor facility (groundbreaking October 2025, opening planned Q1 2028). Adjacent lines include e-mobility charging (emobil), bike sharing via Nextbike, camping under the Falkensteiner partnership, rooftop-solar schemes (KDSG Klagenfurt, VDSG Villach), the Pullstrom retail power brand, the Kärnten Card tourist discount product, the customer-facing STW-Kundenportal and Antragsportal applications, and the STW-Bonuswelt loyalty scheme, alongside smaller B2C lines in funeral services (BKG Bestattung Kärnten, PAX) and outdoor advertising (PSG PosterService).

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-business across the Klagenfurt / Carinthia catchment, with physical service centers at headquarters (St. Veiter Straße 31), webshop and customer portal channels for utility and leisure products, and dedicated app-based interaction (KlagenfurtMobil 2.0) for mobility. Pricing is mixed: regulated utility tariffs on inquiry, with publicly disclosed unit and subscription pricing for beach tickets (€6.90 adult day, €4.90 afternoon, €3.10 evening, €87.80 adult season pass, €50.40/day beach hut rental) and loyalty-program prize giveaways. Marketing leverages owned content/newsletter/social channels, the Klagenfurt Crowd crowdfunding platform, events and sponsorships (Family Festival, Lyrikpreis).
