KEVAG Verteilnetz GmbH

What KEVAG Verteilnetz GmbH does

KEVAG Verteilnetz GmbH operates under the brand enm (Energienetze Mittelrhein GmbH & Co. KG) as a licensed regional distribution network operator (Verteilnetzbetreiber) for electricity and natural gas in the Middle Rhine region of Germany. The company is part of the evm-Gruppe (Energieversorgung Mittelrhein), a long-established regional energy group headquartered in Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate. enm holds exclusive operating rights within its licensed network territory, providing non-discriminatory network access to all energy suppliers and consumers under German energy law (EnWG), and is subject to regulatory oversight by the Bundesnetzagentur.

The company's core technology consists of physical grid infrastructure — electricity substations, medium- and low-voltage distribution lines, natural gas pipelines, and metering operations (Messstellenbetrieb) infrastructure — supported by digital self-service platforms including the Kundenportal customer portal and the Netzportal network portal for connection applications, E-charging station registration, and contractor onboarding. The product portfolio spans the Stromnetz (electricity grid) and Erdgasnetz (natural gas grid) operations, network connection services for low- and medium-voltage customers, metering operations under the Messstellenbetriebsgesetz (MsbG), Redispatch 2.0 grid management, and integrated handling of controllable consumption devices (EV charging stations, heat pumps) under EnWG §14a. A dedicated hydrogen (Wasserstoff) section signals strategic positioning in energy-transition infrastructure.

Revenue is generated through regulated network access fees (Netzentgelte) levied on energy suppliers and end consumers for use of the electricity and gas distribution networks, plus regulated metering operations income under the MsbG. Pricing is set under German energy law and published on the company website. The customer base is geographically defined — all residential, commercial, and industrial consumers within the licensed network area in and around Koblenz, Mayen, and the Rheinschiene municipalities — served through digital portals, contracted installation companies (Vertragsinstallationsunternehmen), and 24-hour fault hotlines. Effective January 1, 2026, the network territory expanded materially to include the city of Mayen and seven Rheinschiene municipalities.
