What stadtwerke pfarrkirchen does

Stadtwerke Pfarrkirchen is a municipal utility (Eigenbetrieb) wholly owned by the City of Pfarrkirchen in Lower Bavaria, Germany, providing electricity, natural gas, drinking water, and wastewater services to approximately 13,824 residents and local businesses within its concession area. The company operates an integrated multi-utility infrastructure that includes a hydroelectric power plant (Wasserkraftanlage Moosmühle, 200 kW Kaplan turbine commissioned in 2006), a wastewater treatment plant with 68,000 population-equivalent capacity processing 2,363 Tm³ annually across a 153 km canal network, and a city bus service (Stadtbus Pfarrkirchen) with 51 stops that transported 201,623 passengers in 2024. Beyond regulated utilities, the company runs the seasonal Erlebnisbad adventure pool (87,485 visitors in 2024), a multi-site e-mobility charging network integrated with Mer Germany / e-wald, an underground parking facility (Tiefgarage Marienplatz), and a 424-space Park & Ride facility, alongside online self-service tools for meter readings, SEPA direct debits, and appointment booking.

The business model is direct-to-consumer municipal utility with regulated tariff-based revenue from electricity, gas, water, and wastewater, supplemented by fee-based revenue from the Erlebnisbad (entry fees and season passes), Stadtbus fares (single tickets through €195 annual passes), parking (€0.50/hour short-term, €430/year long-term), and EV charging transactions. The company is designated as Grundversorger for electricity and gas through 31.12.2027, anchoring default-supply revenue, and is led by two managing directors — Alexandra Seidinger-Brunn (commercial) and Florian Maier (technical) — supported by 54 staff across the Äußere-Simbacher-Str. 7 headquarters and the Höckberg 1 wastewater plant.

The go-to-market is purely local and relationship-driven: a physical Kundenzentrum (Mon-Fri office hours), a service hotline (08561-970-0, emergency 08561-970-111), and a self-serve web portal. Pricing is publicly disclosed across all service lines, including tiered wastewater rates by pollution load and meter-size-dependent base fees for water. Distribution is direct via owned infrastructure — no channel partners for core utilities — while Stadtbus operations are outsourced to Mückenhausen Busunternehmen GmbH and e-mobility charging runs on the Mer Germany network. The company has no subsidiaries, no external shareholders, and operates strictly within Bavaria.

• Stadtwerke Passau: Larger Bavarian municipal utility (Stadtwerke) offering the same multi-utility stack (electricity, gas, water, wastewater, public transport, swimming pools, parking) — same legal form and operating model, though serving a larger city.
