Stadtwerke Görlitz

What Stadtwerke Görlitz does

Stadtwerke Görlitz AG is a municipal utility company headquartered in Görlitz, Saxony, Germany, founded in 1990 and operating as part of the Veolia Group. It serves residential and business customers across the city of Görlitz and the surrounding Oberlausitz region with an integrated portfolio of essential services: electricity and natural gas supply, drinking water provision, wastewater treatment, district heating, fiber optic internet (up to 500 Mbit/s), electromobility charging infrastructure (up to 150 kW DC fast charging), and solar PV solutions including balcony-mounted systems. The company also offers B2B-oriented IT and cloud services, public lighting maintenance, and laboratory water-quality analysis through wholly owned subsidiaries Gasversorgung Görlitz GmbH and SWG Service GmbH.

The underlying technology stack centers on regulated physical infrastructure — electricity and gas distribution networks, waterworks (Wasserwerk Görlitz Weinhübel), a wastewater treatment plant (Kläranlage Görlitz Nord), combined heat and power plants (BHKW Königshufen), and a hydropower facility (Wasserkraftanlage Vierradenmühle) — augmented by digital customer-facing platforms (MEIN|PORTAL, MEIN|ZÄHLER, InternetPortal, NetzanschlussPortal) for self-service account management, smart meter data, and grid connection applications. The company is currently constructing the cross-border UNITED HEAT district heating project, which received federal ministry-level endorsement in March 2026.

The business model is built on subscription/recurring revenue across all service lines, with electricity and gas tariffs personalized by postal code and annual consumption, and annual billing cadence. Go-to-market is sales-led through physical customer offices in Görlitz, Rothenburg, and Ostritz, complemented by online portals and active social media channels. Customer segmentation is horizontal, splitting into residential (Privatkunden) and business (Geschäftskunden) tiers, with no single named anchor customer disclosed. Pricing is not publicly listed and requires individualized quote generation.
