What Stadtwerke Dachau does

Stadtwerke Dachau is a municipally owned multi-utility company founded in 1897 and headquartered in Dachau, Bavaria, wholly owned by the City of Dachau. It supplies approximately 46,000 residential and commercial customers with electricity, natural gas, drinking water, wastewater services, and a portfolio of heating solutions including district heating, mobile heating (Heizmobil), and a planned deep geothermal (Tiefengeothermie) project in Dachau-Nord for which the company secured a Bavarian permit in April 2024. The company also operates three hydroelectric plants along the Amper river, maintains approximately 34 kilometers of dam infrastructure, runs the city's MVV-integrated bus network, operates the Freibad outdoor pool and Hallenbad indoor pool, and is deploying EV charging infrastructure under its E-Mobilität line.

Underlying technology comprises owned physical delivery infrastructure: electricity and gas networks, water/wastewater pipelines, hydroelectric generation assets, EV charging stations, and a fiber optic network (Glasfasernetz) operated through subsidiary Dachau CityCom GmbH — a 2009 joint venture with Rosenheimer KOMRO GmbH providing internet, telephone, and HD television services. The company is rolling out intelligent Smart Meter electricity meters in cooperation with technology partner Hausheld (announced September 2024) and pursuing PV generation (Sonnenkraft für Dachau) plus EEG direct marketing.

The business model is built almost entirely on subscription/recurring utility tariffs across electricity, gas, water, wastewater, heating, fiber telecom, and swimming facilities, supplemented by transaction-fee revenue from bus ticketing and parking. Grundversorgung (basic supply) status confers default-supply rights within the concession area. Distribution is primarily direct via customer service offices at Brunngartenstraße and Markt Indersdorf, an online customer portal, and integration with the MVV regional transit network; FY2024 closed with a positive result as reported at the September 16, 2025 Werkausschuss meeting.
