Allgäuer Überlandwerk

What Allgäuer Überlandwerk does

Allgäuer Überlandwerk GmbH (AÜW) is a regional integrated energy utility headquartered in Kempten, Bavaria, serving the Allgäu region of Germany. The company supplies electricity to approximately 90,000 residential and commercial customers and operates ten owned hydroelectric power plants that generate roughly 80 million kWh per year, plus the BESSI grid-neutral battery storage facility in Immenstadt (15 MW / 33 MWh). Its core product family, sold under the AllgäuStrom and Allgäu Therm Öko / Allgäu Clever brands, spans standard residential tariffs, 100% local renewable tariffs, heat-pump and controllable-load tariffs, and a dynamic-price product, alongside default supply (Grundversorgung/Ersatzversorgung). Through subsidiary AllgäuNetz GmbH & Co. KG it operates the regional distribution grid, and through egrid and HausDerEnergie it sells energy consulting, photovoltaic, heat-pump, storage and energy-management solutions to commercial and residential customers. AÜW has also built a 154+ station public EV charging network (AllgäuStrom StromTankstellen) with roaming across the AllgäuStrom-Kooperation partner network, plus an LoRaWAN/IoT "Smarte Region Allgäu" initiative and a fiber broadband (Glasfaser) offering.

AÜW's revenue model is multi-stream and recurring: monthly subscription-based electricity supply (base fee + kWh) across multiple tariff tiers is the core, supplemented by usage-based EV charging (49-66 ct/kWh depending on AC/DC and customer type), transaction-based EEG direct marketing (4.25 ct/kWh net producer compensation in 2026), managed grid services via AllgäuNetz, hardware sales of PV/heat-pump/storage through HausDerEnergie, professional energy consulting via egrid, and THG-quota monetization through carbonify. Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer via an online portal, app, regional call center, and physical service points, with field sales for commercial accounts and a channel-partner/roaming structure across the AllgäuStrom-Kooperation. Pricing is transparent and tariff-segmented, with price guarantees (e.g., AllgäuStrom Garant through 31.12.2028) and youth bonuses anchoring customer retention.
