EVA Energieversorgung Apolda

EVA Energieversorgung Apolda (commonly styled "eva") is a municipal energy utility based in Apolda, a town in the German state of Thuringia. It supplies household and commercial customers in Apolda and the surrounding region with electricity, natural gas and heat, and offers a range of energy-related services. The company presents itself as Apolda's all-round utility ("Rundumversorger"), combining energy supply with services tied to local public provision (Daseinsvorsorge). The utility traces its roots to energy provision in the town reaching back to the early 19th century, while the present company, Energieversorgung Apolda GmbH, was founded in 1992. It is owned 51% by Apoldaer Bäder GmbH and 49% by TEAG Thüringen Energie AG, an ownership structure that keeps a majority municipal stake and, according to the company, keeps profits in Apolda and its surroundings. Beyond classic electricity and gas retail, eva is active in renewable generation and energy services. It operates its own combined heat and power (block heating) plants and photovoltaic installations, and states that it supplies an above-average share of "green" electricity compared with the German national average. It is also involved in wind power, holding a stake in Windkraft Thüringen GmbH & Co. KG alongside other Thuringian energy utilities. The company is expanding infrastructure for electric mobility and offers its own related products, and it is working on bringing fast fibre-optic communications infrastructure to Apolda. As a locally rooted company, eva positions itself as a partner for citizens and businesses on site, offering customer services such as online meter reading, downloads and forms, and a customer portal. It also runs apprenticeship and career programmes and supports sport, social causes and culture in the region. Its product range includes electricity and gas tariffs for households and businesses, with new tariffs effective from 1 January 2025 and a new-customer bonus of up to 500 euros advertised on its website.

Energy provision in Apolda has a long history. According to the company, its history reaches back to the early 19th century, when the town began to be supplied with energy. The modern corporate entity, Energieversorgung Apolda GmbH, was founded in 1992, in the period following German reunification when municipal utilities in the new federal states were reorganised. Since its founding, eva has developed from a classic municipal electricity and gas supplier into a broader local utility. It has invested in its own generation assets, operating combined heat and power (block heating) plants and photovoltaic installations for years, and states that this allows it to deliver an above-average share of "green" electricity compared with the German national average. It also participates in wind power through a stake in Windkraft Thüringen GmbH & Co. KG, alongside many other Thuringian energy utilities. The company's ownership is structured to keep a municipal majority: 51% is held by Apoldaer Bäder GmbH and 49% by TEAG Thüringen Energie AG. According to eva, this means that profits generated remain in Apolda and the surrounding area, and the company describes itself as a significant local economic driver that checks whether local suppliers are available for material purchases and construction or service contracts. In recent years eva has expanded beyond traditional energy supply. It is building out infrastructure for electric mobility and offers its own products in that area, and it is working on bringing fast communications infrastructure based on fibre-optic technology to Apolda. It continues to serve household and commercial customers with electricity, gas and heat, and provides energy-related services, online meter reading, downloads and forms, and a customer portal. The company also runs apprenticeship and career programmes and supports sport, social causes and culture in the region, presenting itself as a company of the citizens of Apolda.
