Energy Transition Award

The Energy Transition Award


The Energy Transition Award is a prestigious acknowledgement for the pioneers of the energy transition in the DACH region in various categories. Companies that succeed in comprehensively integrating the new energy world into their product and service portfolio are seen as role models for others.

Unlike in the traditional energy industry, customers – private households – are active players in the energy transition as well. They determine not only the demand by purchasing green power, renewable heat or biofuels, but also become suppliers themselves through their use of renewable energies.

Thus, companies are faced with the challenge of positioning themselves in the energy transition with innovative products and services for customers and their changing needs.

The Driving Forces Behind the Energy Transition

Der Energieversorger ist der erste Ansprechpartner für den Endkunden bei Energiefragen. Entsprechend bildet er die Schnittstelle zwischen dem Angebot an Produkten und Dienstleistungen der Energiewende und der Nachfrage der Endkunden. Aus dieser Position erwächst eine besondere Verantwortung der Energieversorger für das Gelingen der Energiewende.

We are delighted to have won the Energy Transition Award for the eighth time today. It is always an honor for us, as we can identify very well with the criteria of the award: Proximity to our customers and commitment to a sustainable, climate-friendly energy future. With its concept, the Energy Transition Award promotes these goals.

Michael Teigeler
Managing Director, Stadtwerke Heidelberg Energie GmbH

The award is fully deserved by the Energy Advisory Service Team at the Stadtwerke München. They are passionate about informing the citizens of Munich and manage to inspire them. How do they do it? Our team takes the time to respond to individual needs. This is particularly important in times of changing funding and legal framework conditions. And it motivates in two directions. Through our independent advice, my team shows ways in which energy and money can be saved, be it through energy-saving tips or recommendations for renovation measures. If my team is successful, i.e. the tips and measures are implemented, then it contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions together with the citizens! That is shaping the future. Every day.

Head of Energy Consulting, Stadtwerke München GmbH

This recognition reinforces our determination in making energy transition a real driver of change, capable of generating benefits for people and territories.

Contributing to sustainable development means acting with transparency and accountability: to better manage our impact, we set clear targets to reduce Scope 1 + 2 emissions by 7% by 2030 and started monitoring Scope 3 indirect emissions according to GHG Protocol standards. The projects we pursue aim to create shared value and actively engage communities, as evidenced by the photovoltaic park built on the roof of Bluenergy Stadium and the establishment of the first Renewable Energy Community aimed at soccer team fans.

We believe innovation and collaboration are the levers to transform energy into a concrete opportunity for participation, inclusion and sustainable development.
