EBERwerk

EBERwerk is a regional energy provider based in the Ebersberg district of Bavaria, Germany. It was founded in 2017 by 19 of the 21 municipalities in the district as a collective response to the need for a local, sustainable energy supply and to advance the energy transition (Energiewende) in the region. The company's name combines "EBER" from Ebersberg with "werk," reflecting its roots in the community. EBERwerk's core business is the sale of electricity under the brand EBERstrom, which is 100% generated from renewable sources within the Ebersberg district. These sources include biogas plants, photovoltaic systems, and the district's only wind turbine. The company emphasizes that its green electricity is not merely certified on paper but is physically produced by local farmers and small businesses. By keeping generation and distribution local, EBERwerk aims to retain the value created by renewable energy within the district and to reduce CO2 emissions—an average household switching to EBERstrom saves approximately one tonne of CO2 per year. Beyond electricity sales, EBERwerk is active in three business areas: electricity sales, electricity grids, and energy services. Its energy services include photovoltaic (solar) installations and e-mobility solutions, aligning with its mission to cover the entire energy demand of the district with renewable energy. The company also engages in direct marketing of electricity from renewable producers. As a municipal enterprise, EBERwerk is owned by the participating municipalities and operates as a private limited company (GmbH). It is not listed on any stock exchange. The company is a young, dynamic team dedicated to driving the energy transition locally and achieving the district's 2030 climate goals. Its logo, featuring three overlapping polygons, symbolizes the three business fields and the synergies achieved by bundling them under one roof, with each founding municipality represented as a cornerstone.

EBERwerk was founded in 2017 by 19 of the 21 municipalities in the Ebersberg district of Bavaria, Germany. The founding was a collective effort to establish a regional energy supply and to advance the energy transition (Energiewende) in the district. According to the district administrator (Landrat) Robert Niedergesäß, the founding of EBERwerk was an important milestone on the path to achieving the 2030 climate protection goal in the Ebersberg district and a directional decision for the future. The municipalities recognized that the transformation away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energies could only be accomplished collectively, and that it was a prerequisite for an independent and secure future for the citizens and businesses of the district. The company's logo reflects its origins: each founding municipality forms a cornerstone of three polygons, which represent the three business areas—electricity sales, electricity grids, and energy services—and the overlaps symbolize the synergies arising from bundling these activities within EBERwerk. Since its founding, EBERwerk has focused on supplying 100% renewable electricity under the EBERstrom brand, sourced entirely from within the Ebersberg district. The electricity comes mainly from biogas plants, photovoltaic systems, and the district's only wind turbine. The company also offers photovoltaic installations and e-mobility solutions as part of its energy services, and it engages in direct marketing of electricity from renewable producers. Its mission is to cover the entire energy demand of the district with renewable energies, thereby keeping the value creation from the energy transition within the region and contributing to CO2 reduction.
