What Stadtwerke Burg does

Stadtwerke Burg GmbH is a German municipal utility (Stadtwerke) headquartered at Niegripper Chaussee 38a, 39288 Burg, Sachsen-Anhalt, founded in 1991 by municipal council resolution and organised as a GmbH with municipal participation. It supplies electricity (including Grundversorgung, Transparent Ökostrom, and the dynamic SWB Transparent-Smart tariff), natural gas across multiple tiers, and district heating generated via combined heat and power (CHP) plants. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stadtwerke Burg Energienetze GmbH (SWB-EN, 100% since 2007), operates the local electricity and gas distribution grid and does business as 'Jerichower Landwerk'. The service territory covers the city of Burg and six surrounding municipalities in the Jerichower Land district, addressing residential customers and business customers (Geschäftskunden above defined kWh thresholds).

The company's technology stack is built around utility-grade infrastructure: smart meters with Funktechnologie remote reading that enable dynamic tariffs, an SAP-based online service center, GHG Protocol-aligned greenhouse-gas accounting, and an expanded renewable asset base that includes more than 100 rooftop PV installations completed, a 1,607 kWp floating-PV system on a renatured lake, and the SonnenBurg tenant-electricity (Mieterstrom) project delivering 283 kWp across 12 buildings to 230 rental households in partnership with Burger Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft eG. E-mobility charging is deployed via the ladenetz.de roaming network.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (i) recurring subscription supply of electricity, gas, and district heating across residential and commercial tiers; (ii) one-time project fees from rooftop PV installations; and (iii) hardware sales and operator contracts in e-mobility. Distribution is direct, through the company's city office, the SAP online portal, and a dedicated sales team for business customers. Strategy is anchored on a published 2045 climate-neutrality target (with GHG Protocol-aligned reporting from 2021) and a vertically integrated build-out of renewables, tenant electricity, dynamic pricing, and EV charging within its concession.
