17er Oberlandenergie Gmbh

What 17er Oberlandenergie Gmbh does

17er Oberlandenergie GmbH is a privately held regional energy utility headquartered in Murnau am Staffelsee, Germany, founded in 2015 as a consortium of 40+ municipal utilities (Stadt- und Gemeindewerke) across the Oberland region of Bavaria. The company supplies 100% renewable electricity sourced from regional hydropower, specifically the Kraftwerk Obernach hydroelectric plant at Lake Walchensee, alongside natural gas, heat electricity (Wärmestrom), and EV charging tariffs to residential, commercial, and municipal customers.

The product portfolio is built around a core energy supply platform — Ökostrom, Erdgas, and Wärmestrom — with an integrated electromobility and distributed-generation layer that includes Ladestrom tariffs, Wallbox home-charging hardware installation, the EOBERLAND e-carsharing service, and Photovoltaik system sale and installation. Customers interact through five physical customer centers (Murnau, Bad Tölz, Geretsried, Penzberg, Wolfratshausen), phone support, and the Kundenportal online self-service platform for tariff calculation, account management, and meter reading submission. The company handles provider switching on behalf of new customers.

The business model is subscription-based consumption billing per kWh, with postcode-specific tariffs invoiced monthly via SEPA direct debit or bank transfer; Photovoltaik adds a one-time hardware installation revenue stream. Ownership rests with the 40+ municipal shareholders, who retain profits locally rather than distributing to external capital providers. The company is led by Managing Director (Geschäftsführung) Ralph Müller, with André Behre as Chairman of the Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsratvorsitzender). No revenue or funding figures are publicly disclosed.

Regional players

• Lechwerke AG: Bavarian regional utility serving Augsburg and surrounding areas with electricity, gas, heat, and EV charging. Geographic neighbor to 17er's Oberland territory, competing for similar customer segments in southern Bavaria.
• N-ERGIE AG: Northern Bavarian municipal utility (Nuremberg region) offering electricity, gas, heat, and water with growing EV charging and renewable supply. Comparable multi-product municipal-utility model operating in adjacent Bavarian geography.

Direct peers

• Lichtblick SE: German green electricity and gas retailer offering 100% renewable tariffs plus EV charging (Lichtblick Zuhause). Targets the same eco-conscious switcher segment as 17er with a national footprint.
• Naturstrom AG: German green electricity retailer sourcing from German renewable plants, offering eco power, gas, heat electricity, and EV charging. Competes for the same sustainability-driven Bavarian residential and commercial customer base as 17er.
• EWS Schönau: Schönau-based green electricity cooperative that pioneered citizen-led renewable supply in Germany. Shares the community-ownership ethos, 100% renewable positioning, and grassroots brand identity that distinguishes 17er from incumbent utilities.
• Green Planet Energy (ehem. Greenpeace Energy): Cooperative green electricity supplier offering 100% renewable tariffs across Germany with strong sustainability branding. Comparable to 17er on ethical sourcing positioning and consumer-facing renewable retail model.
• Bürgerwerke eG: German cooperative of green energy citizens' energy companies offering nationwide 100% renewable tariffs. Operates a similar citizen/community-owned model aggregating multiple regional energy cooperatives, directly comparable to 17er's municipal-shareholder structure.
• Stadtwerke München (SWM): Munich's municipal multi-utility providing M-Naturpur eco electricity, gas, district heating, EV charging, and carsharing. Closest geographic and structural analog to 17er — municipal-ownership model serving Bavarian residential and commercial customers with a similar product portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• E.ON SE: One of Europe's largest integrated utilities, offering nationwide retail electricity, gas, EV charging, and energy services in Germany. Represents the scale incumbent 17er competes against for switchers and commercial customers.
• EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG: Major German integrated utility providing electricity, gas, EV charging infrastructure, and renewable supply across southern Germany. Adjacent geography and broader portfolio define it as a large incumbent peer rather than a direct competitor.
