EWE: the driving force in the north
EWE is one of the leading utility companies in Germany, particularly in its traditional northern German core markets. The company is an energy services market leader in the Ems/Weser/Elbe region.
The company occupies a significant market position in the regional telecommunications segment. EWE’s multi-service energy supply and telecommunications solutions are one of a kind in Germany. EWE has carved out an excellent position for itself on the German natural gas market: as one of just a few providers, the company is involved all along the value creation chain - from production, import, transport and storage through to distribution.
EWE has secured long-term access to international natural gas sources and is systematically expanding its storage services for other companies as well.
EWE AG has strong regional ties. The utility company’s shares are held indirectly by 21 towns and districts in the Ems/Weser/Elbe region. EWE AG is headquartered in Oldenburg. EWE also conducts business through its Group subsidiaries elsewhere in Europe – for example in Poland, Switzerland and Turkey. Despite the growing trend towards internationalisation, EWE is proud of its northern German roots. The strong regional connections and many years of close ties with commercial, municipal and private customers have made EWE a significant factor in the economy of the Ems/Weser/Elbe core region. For this reason EWE feels especially committed to the people of the region.
EWE also acknowledges its responsibility towards the environment in all of its undertakings. EWE is actively involved in research and development in order to secure the energy supply of the future and protect the environment. The focus of EWE’s research is on producing energy from renewable energy sources. For this reason, the company is increasingly investing in the development of renewable energies, such as wind power and photovoltaics.
