Kommunalunternehmen Stadtwerke Penzberg

What Kommunalunternehmen Stadtwerke Penzberg does

Kommunalunternehmen Stadtwerke Penzberg is a municipal public-law institution (Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts) wholly owned by the City of Penzberg, Bavaria, providing essential local infrastructure services including drinking water supply, wastewater collection and treatment, district heating, electricity and gas (via the regional 17er Oberlandenergie brand), fiber-optic telecommunications (through subsidiary P-KOM Telekommunikationsgesellschaft mbH), EV charging, and the PiORAMA family swimming pool. Established in its current legal form on 1 January 2011 and operating with 23 employees, the utility manages 2 drinking water wells, a 5,000 m³ reservoir, 110 km of canal network, a 34,000-EW biological wastewater treatment plant operated in intercommunal cooperation with Bad Heilbrunn and Iffeldorf, a 5.5 km district heating grid anchored by two energy centers (Weidenweg from 2017, Layritzhalle from October 2024), and a fiber network covering 65%+ of the city area serving roughly 2,500 households and businesses.

The business model is subscription- and usage-based recurring revenue from regulated municipal fees: water consumption charges (EUR 1.18/m³ net), wastewater fees split into Schmutzwasser (EUR 3.53/m³) and Niederschlagswasser (EUR 0.69/m²), tiered annual water meter fixed charges, one-time Herstellungsbeiträge for water and canal connections, individually quoted district heating tariffs, EV charging tariffs (EUR 0.60/kWh AC, EUR 0.75/kWh DC), and PiORAMA admission fees. Revenue is supplemented by fiber access fees from ISPs (M-net, komro) operating over the P-KOM Open Access network, electricity/gas passthrough under the 17er Oberlandenergie regional brand with four other Bavarian municipalities, and generation revenue from 1,722+ kWp of installed PV capacity (including 51%-owned VSP 22 and VSP 23 joint ventures with Vispiron EPC) plus a 173 kW share in Windpark Neutz.

Distribution is exclusively local and direct: a Servicecenter at the headquarters (Am Alten Kraftwerk 3, 82377 Penzberg), digital self-service via the ablesen.de portal (operated by co.met GmbH), the 17er Oberlandenergie Privatkundencenter co-located at the same site, P-KOM fiber access for reselling ISPs, and public EV charging stations across six or more sites with roaming via ladenetz.de. The company does not publish revenue and operates as a statutory service provider under Daseinsvorsorge obligations rather than as a discretionary vendor.

Scale indicators14 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Stadtwerke München: Largest Bavarian municipal utility operating across water, electricity, gas, district heating, fiber, and public transport; serves as the broad incumbent benchmark for what a scaled Bavarian Stadtwerke portfolio looks like, providing infrastructure, regulatory, and operational context for Penzberg.
• E.ON SE: Major German energy company operating electricity distribution, retail supply, and network services across Germany; represents the broad incumbent energy ecosystem against which small Stadtwerke like Penzberg position their local energy supply via the 17er cooperative.

Regional players

• N-ERGIE Aktiengesellschaft: Regional energy and water utility serving the Nürnberg metropolitan area in Middle Franconia/Bavaria; comparable municipal-rooted multi-utility operator but at larger regional scale, illustrating the upside of consolidation and adjacent-market expansion.
• Lechwerke AG (LEW): Regional energy utility serving Bavarian Swabia and Upper Bavaria with electricity distribution, renewable generation, and energy retail; serves as a comparable regional-scale municipal-rooted energy utility for benchmarking Penzberg's renewable/district heating strategy.

Others

• Thüga Holding GmbH & Co. KGaA: German consortium of municipal utilities providing shared services, procurement, and strategic support to ~100 member Stadtwerke; Stadtwerke Penzberg-style small municipal utilities are the typical membership profile, making Thüga a relevant ecosystem/peer-grouping comparable.

Direct peers

• Stadtwerke Murnau am Staffelsee: Small Bavarian municipal utility sharing the 17er Oberlandenergie regional energy cooperative with Stadtwerke Penzberg; operates similar multi-utility services (water, energy, fiber, district heating) for Murnau and surrounding Upper Bavaria communities, making it the closest direct comparable.
• Stadtwerke Wolfratshausen: Joint partner in the 17er Oberlandenergie regional energy brand; comparable small Bavarian municipal utility serving a single town with water, energy, and fiber infrastructure.
• Stadtwerke Bad Tölz: Partner in the 17er Oberlandenergie cooperative alongside Stadtwerke Penzberg; comparable small Upper Bavaria Stadtwerke delivering electricity, gas, water, and fiber to a town of similar size and customer profile.
