Logo Innovationspartner EGT
EGT Group

Founded 125 years ago in Triberg in the Black Forest, the EGT Group has established itself in four areas: Energy Sales, Energy Networks (electricity, gas and heat), Electrical and Information Technology Building Services and Energy Solutions. The latter division acts as a link between the individual EGT companies with digitalized business processes.

Each division is the responsibility of a wholly owned subsidiary, which is also based in Triberg. As a pioneer in hydroelectric power generation, EGT has been committed to the expansion of environmentally friendly energy sources and their efficient use since its founding – including in-house. In the upcoming rollout of smart metering systems, EGT brings many years of experience in planning, processing, meter installation or the subsequent optimization of process flows in data and market communication.

So you’ve come to the right place, especially with your digital business models for energy supply for business customers.

Logo Innovationspartner badenova
badenova

badenova wants to shape the energy and heating turnaround – as a municipally owned company together with the region and for the region of Südbaden. To this end, the badenova Group and its nearly 1.500 employees have set ambitious goals for the expansion of renewable energies at all levels, from large-scale plants to the energy transition in people’s own homes, as well as in the transformation of the grid infrastructure. Topics such as e-mobility and smart regions also play an important role. To this end, the company already regularly cooperates with startups in various stages of development.

Logo Innovationspartner Stadtwerk Haßfurt
Stadtwerk Haßfurt

The Stadtwerk Haßfurt in Lower Franconia has long been driving the energy turnaround with carefully coordinated projects and has thus taken on a beacon status for innovative & regenerative energy supply.

While the town of Haßfurt is quite small with a population of around 16.000, the radiance of the innovative power of this climate-positive municipal utility is imposing. In recent years, up to 110% of Haßfurt’s energy needs have been met by renewable energy generation from wind, photovoltaic, biogas and combined heat and power plants. The smart meter rollout, i.e. the connection of consumer and producer households with digital meters for energy, water and heat, which most municipal utilities are only now beginning to tackle, was also completed for the people of Hassfurt in 2008.

It’s good that there are still many radical innovation approaches (from you startups) that can be demonstrated on a small scale and thus optimized for transfer across the board so that the energy revolution succeeds together.
