What Energie and Management does

Energie & Management Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (E&M) is a German B2B professional publishing company serving the European energy sector, headquartered in Herrsching, Germany. The company produces news, analysis, market commentary, and proprietary data products covering energy policy, technology, law, business, and personnel across German and European markets. E&M operates a multi-tier subscription model (E&M basic, E&M plus, E&M daily) targeting exclusively B2B energy professionals — utilities, Stadtwerke, energy traders, and service companies — with a 2-week free trial as the acquisition funnel and 12-month auto-renewing terms on subscriptions. Beyond direct subscriptions, E&M sells individual articles (€2.98-€8.93), display advertising, sponsored content, and tiered B2B content feeds distributed via the Contiago Content Cloud.

E&M's technology stack is built on a web-based digital publishing platform using the MODX content management system, email delivery for E&M daily and the E&M exklusiv newsletter, and a podcast distribution footprint across iTunes, Spotify, SoundCloud, Deezer, Google Play Music, and Amazon Alexa. The company extends its reach through partnerships: with Enervis Energy Advisors since 2019 on proprietary monthly PPA-Preisindex (launched January 2022) and bi-weekly H2-Preisindex data products; with Contiago for syndication; and with Vedec on the annual Contracting Award. Editorial output is hourly-updated on the web, with a comprehensive news archive dating to 2000.

The revenue model combines recurring subscription revenue (E&M basic/plus/daily), transactional article sales, recurring B2B content syndication via Contiago, advertising and sponsored content, and event/webinar revenue. Customer concentration is broadly distributed across the German and European energy value chain, with named audiences including energy utilities, municipal utilities (Stadtwerke), energy traders, and energy sector companies licensing content for their own digital platforms. Reporting headcount is stated at 1-10 employees, indicating a lean operating model.
