For nearly 100 years, EWE has been deeply rooted in north-west Germany and is among the leading companies in the German energy sector. Through its current strategic direction and structure, the company’s leadership has positioned EWE for a sustainable future – benefiting the regions it serves.
EWE has always been driven by one ambition: to create the best energy system for the future. Our focus remains on our region and its people. Through strategic partnerships and innovative projects, we are guiding north-west Germany on its path to a climate-neutral future.
EWE has identified six areas which will be essential for achieving this goal:
With more than 10,000 employees and a turnover exceeding €10 billion in the 2023 financial year, EWE AG is one of the most important companies in the German energy sector.

EWE is committed to building a sustainable, climate-neutral energy supply, operating intelligent energy and telecommunications networks, and expanding its portfolio of innovative and efficient energy and mobility services.
EWE integrates energy, telecommunications, IT, and mobility into a holistic approach. This strategic alignment enables the company to actively advance the energy transition and digitalization.
The EWE Group is managed by EWE AG, which serves as its holding company. The executive board oversees business operations and is responsible for defining and implementing EWE’s corporate strategy.
EWE is a pillar of regional stability and a major economic driver for north-west Germany. This is confirmed by a Conoscope study, which examined the direct and indirect economic impact of EWE’s business activities.
EWE originated from the merger of Stromversorgungs AG Oldenburg-Ostfriesland (Strosag) and the Landeselektrizitätsverband Oldenburg. Since 1930, and for nearly 100 years, our roots have been firmly planted in north-west Germany.
