EVI

What EVI does

EVI Energieversorgung Hildesheim GmbH & Co. KG is a municipal energy utility (Stadtwerk) headquartered at Römerring 1, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stadtwerke Hildesheim (itself owned by the City of Hildesheim). The company is a limited partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) registered at Amtsgericht Hildesheim under HRA 2474 and is led by Mustafa Sancar (Commercial Managing Director) and Wolfgang Birkenbusch (Technical Managing Director), with Dr. Ingo Meyer (Mayor of Hildesheim) chairing the advisory board. EVI serves residential (Privatkunden) and commercial (Gewerbekunden) customers in Hildesheim and the surrounding Lower Saxony region with a multi-utility portfolio spanning electricity, natural gas, district heating (Fernwärme), drinking water, e-mobility charging, and solar installations.

The company's revenue is generated through subscription-based, recurring utility tariffs across its product lines, including HI+ Ökostrom (TÜV Nord certified green electricity), HI+ Gas, EVI garantie fixed-price products, a dynamic electricity tariff, district heating connections, and drinking water supply. Underlying technology consists of approximately 2,000 kilometers of supply network infrastructure (~1,200 km electricity network, ~20 km district heating expanding to 60 km by 2031 and 120 km by 2045), the new H2-ready Heizkraftwerk Bördestraße combined heat and power plant with up to 50 GWh annual district heating capacity, electroacoustic sensor-based water loss monitoring, and digital platforms including the HildesHaus home energy management app, Meine EVI online customer portal, and a digital network connection portal. The go-to-market motion combines customer centers (Kundencenter), an online tariff calculator, the Meine EVI self-serve portal, phone/email support, and a callback service. Customer retention is reinforced through the HI+ Vorteilswelt and EVI Heimvorteil loyalty programs, partnerships with local sports clubs (VfV 06 Hildesheim, Helios Grizzlys, HC Eintracht Hildesheim, Hildesheim Invaders), and community engagement events such as the EVI Cup indoor football tournament and EVI LICHTUNGEN light art festival.

EVI's strategic positioning is anchored in regulated monopoly control of grid infrastructure within its concession area, multi-year quality and sustainability certifications (TOP Lokalversorger, Kununu Top Company, Great Place to Work, TÜV Nord Ökostrom, ISO/IEC 27001:2017, Familiensiegel), Klimawerke 2040 climate alliance membership targeting 2040 climate neutrality, and a Deloitte partnership to redesign the district heating business model. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through a personalized online tariff calculator. With over 300 employees, EVI positions itself as one of the larger energy utility companies in Lower Saxony.
