INFOPLAN Gesellschaft für Wirtschaftsberatung mbH

What INFOPLAN Gesellschaft für Wirtschaftsberatung mbH does

INFOPLAN Gesellschaft für Wirtschaftsberatung mbH is a German management consulting firm specializing in regulatory management for energy utilities, network operators, water suppliers, and municipal companies. Operating as part of the EversheimStuible Unternehmensgruppe with offices in Düsseldorf and Stuttgart, the firm has been active in the German regulatory landscape for over 45 years. Its client base consists of regulated infrastructure operators requiring support with regulatory accounting, incentive regulation compliance (Anreizregulierung), and operational controlling across multiple regulatory periods.

The firm's flagship product is APIS (Regulatorisches Managementcockpit), an Excel-based controlling tool that helps clients navigate German regulatory frameworks applied to energy networks and adjacent infrastructure. APIS was updated for the 5th regulatory period in 2024, reflecting ongoing product maintenance tied to evolving regulatory requirements. The firm holds WPK (Wirtschaftsprüferkammer) certification, which is relevant for regulatory accounting engagements. Two Managing Directors lead the firm: M.Sc. Sebastian Meier and Dipl. Kfm. Thorsten Ressin.

INFOPLAN generates revenue through project-based consulting engagements combined with licensing and support of its APIS tool. As a B2B specialist consulting firm with approximately six employees at the INFOPLAN entity level (within a broader group of 100+), it operates in a narrow niche where deep regulatory expertise, long-standing client relationships, and WPK credentials drive business. The go-to-market is relationship-led within a limited universe of regulated German utility buyers.
