EVF

What EVF does

EVF (Energieversorgung Filstal GmbH & Co. KG) is a regional municipal utility (Stadtwerk) headquartered in Göppingen, Baden-Württemberg, operating continuously for over 160 years (founded 1860). The company delivers a vertically integrated stack of essential services — electricity, natural gas, drinking water, district heating, fiber/VDSL internet (EVF-i), mobile (5G), colocation data center, CNG/biomethane fuel, EV charging, and parking — to approximately 100,000 residents, businesses, and 17 municipalities across the Filstal region. It owns and operates the underlying electricity, gas, water, and heating network infrastructure in its service territory and holds DIN EN 50600, ISO/IEC 27001, and DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 certifications across its data center and central water laboratory.

The business model is a subscription-and-usage hybrid: recurring residential and commercial utility tariffs for electricity, gas, water, heating, and internet (priced €19.95–€59.95/month for internet tiers; usage-based pricing for CNG biomethane and parking); subscription colocation revenue for the 144-rack Stauferpark data center (€29–€699+/month per rack unit); and dynamic hourly electricity pricing via EVF-Ökostrom-Smart tied to exchange rates. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer channels (customer centers in Göppingen and Geislingen, online portal, Meine EVF app) with key account management for commercial customers above 100,000 kWh electricity or 200,000 kWh gas annually. The company is structured as a German GmbH & Co. KG with general partner EVF Management GmbH; managing directors are Andreas Bantel and Peter Naab, and the supervisory board is chaired by Oberbürgermeister Alexander Maier, anchoring municipal oversight.

Recent strategic activity is incremental rather than transformational: a 2025 launch of dynamic exchange-linked electricity tariffs, a 5G mobile offering under EVF-Mobil, updated Meine EVF app, and commissioning of six new PV systems (~379 kWp) via partner Energiegenossenschaft Filstal eG. The company also operates a joint venture, Team Emobility GmbH (since 2016), for EV charging infrastructure and wallbox services. EVF holds no disclosed external parent, no private equity or venture capital backing, and does not publicly report revenue.
