Stadtwerke Kamp-Lintfort

What Stadtwerke Kamp-Lintfort does

Stadtwerke Kamp-Lintfort GmbH is a German municipal utility company founded in 1997 and wholly owned by the City of Kamp-Lintfort (Stadt Kamp-Lintfort). It supplies electricity, natural gas, drinking water, and district heating to approximately 39,000-40,000 residents in Kamp-Lintfort (North Rhine-Westphalia) and — via its 100% subsidiary Stadtwärme Kamp-Lintfort GmbH — to the neighboring municipality of Neukirchen-Vluyn. The company employs 61 staff across two locations (customer center and waterworks), operates ~189 km of drinking water network within Kamp-Lintfort, ~55 km of district heating network delivering ~102 GWh annually (sourced primarily from the waste-to-energy CHP plant Asdonkshof and five peak-load heating plants), and serves over 850 district heating customers plus ~5,500 gas connections currently undergoing the mandatory L-Gas to H-Gas conversion scheduled for May 2027.

The company's product portfolio combines regulated default supply (Grundversorgung) with a multi-tariff competitive offering — KaLiStrom 2026, KaLiStrom Dynamisch (EPEX SPOT-linked hourly pricing), KaLiStrom Steuerbar §14a EnWG (controllable-load), KaLiStrom Wärmepumpe, KaLiStrom Wärmespeicher, and the KaLiGas Vario gas tariff — alongside newer digital offerings: the HENRI home energy management app (launched November 2025), the KaLi 360° mobile self-service app, and a Gradyent-powered Digital Twin of the district heating network. Energy services (PV advisory at solar.swkl.de, EV wallbox and heat pump installation) and monthly in-person energy consulting with Malz e.V. extend the relationship beyond commodity supply. Smart meter (iMSys) rollout is executed in coordination with grid operator Westnetz GmbH.

The business model is anchored in usage-based volumetric and base-fee pricing across four utility services, monthly billing, and direct-to-consumer distribution via a physical Kundenzentrum, online portal, mobile app, toll-free hotline, and WhatsApp service. The customer base is residential-led (primary segment), with a secondary commercial/industrial Sondervertragskunden tier and an emerging B2G network-management contract layer — most recently the takeover of Kerken's drinking water network operations from 01.01.2026. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; growth is funded internally as a municipal entity with no external equity or debt capital raised.
