EnBW

EnBW came into existence on 1 January 1997 as a result of the merger between two energy companies from Baden-Württemberg, Badenwerk AG and Energie-Versorgung Schwaben AG (EVS).{{cite web|title=EnBW Annual Report 1997|url=https://www.enbw.com/media/downloadcenter-konzern/geschaeftsberichte/enbw-geschaeftsbericht-1997.pdf|page=54|publisher=EnBW}} Subsequently, on 1 October 2003, EnBW further merged with Neckarwerke Stuttgart AG.{{cite book|page=220|title= Kritisches Handbuch der deutschen Elektrizitätswirtschaft: Branchenentwicklung, Unternehmensstrategien, Arbeitsbeziehungen |last1=Bontrup|first1=Heinz-Josef|last2=Marquardt|first2=Ralf-Michael|publisher=Edition Sigma|year=2010|isbn= 9783836087124}}

In March 2012, Frank Mastiaux was appointed as the new CEO of EnBW.{{cite web|title=Dr. Frank Mastiaux to become CEO of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG as of October 2012|url=https://www.enbw.com/company/investors/news-and-publications/dr-frank-mastiaux-to-become-ceo-of-enbw-energie-baden-wuerttember.html|publisher=EnBW|date=30 March 2012}} At the end of 2012, in response to the nuclear power phase-out and the energy transition, Mastiaux announced a strategic reorientation.{{cite web|title=EnBW 2020 Strategy|url=https://www.enbw.com/media/konzern/docs/strategie/enbw_2020_strategy_1.pdf|publisher=EnBW}} The proportion of renewable energy sources in EnBW's energy mix was to increase from 12% to 40% by 2020.{{cite web|title=EnBW launches new strategic orientation|url=https://www.enbw.com/company/investors/news-and-publications/enbw-launches-new-strategic-orientation.html|publisher=EnBW|date=17 June 2013}} The figure of 40.1% was reached in 2021. Much of this was to be achieved by expanding wind power: with 1,016 MW onshore and 975 MW offshore, EnBW is now one of the leading wind farm developers and operators in Germany.{{cite web|title=Offshore Wind in Europe: Key trends and statistics 2019|url=https://windeurope.org/wp-content/uploads/files/about-wind/statistics/WindEurope-Annual-Offshore-Statistics-2019.pdf|publisher=Wind Europe|date=February 2020}}

Between 2020 and 2025, the company plans to invest over €5 billion in the further expansion of renewable energy generation and aims to operate onshore and offshore wind farms with a total capacity of at least 4,000 MW.{{Cite web |title=Wind energy at EnBW {{!}} EnBW |url=https://www.enbw.com/renewable-energy/wind-energy/ |access-date=2022-12-02 |website=Wind energy at EnBW |language=en}} EnBW's first offshore wind farm – EnBW Baltic 1, comprising 21 wind turbines in the Baltic Sea – went into operation in 2011. This was followed in early summer 2015 by the 80-turbine EnBW Baltic 2 offshore wind farm, a stake in which had already been sold to Australian investment group Macquarie for €720 million in January 2015.{{cite web|title=EnBW sells offshore windpark stake to Macquarie for 720 million euros|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-baltic2-m-a-macquarie-group-idUSKBN0KG0M520150107|publisher=Reuters|date=7 January 2015}} In early 2020, the [https://www.thewindpower.net/windfarm_en_18574_enbw-hohe-see.php EnBW Hohe See] and [https://www.thewindpower.net/windfarm_en_16883_albatros.php Albatros] wind farms with a total of 87 turbines and 609 MW capacity went into operation in the North Sea.

EnBW also plans to expand its grids business and make various divestments. An important growth market is Turkey, where EnBW's focus is on hydroelectric power stations and wind farms.{{cite web|title=EnBW steckt sieben Milliarden Euro in Konzernumbau|url=https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/energie/energieunternehmen-enbw-steckt-sieben-milliarden-euro-in-konzernumbau/8364844.html|publisher=Handelsblatt|date=17 June 2013}}

In 2017, EnBW began expanding its electric mobility, photovoltaics and distributed energy generation activities:

In electric mobility, EnBW has collaborated since March 2017 with [https://tank.rast.de/en.html Tank & Rast], an operator of service areas along the German autobahn network, to expand the provision of charging points for electric vehicles.{{cite web|title=E-Mobilität: Tank & Rast und EnBW machen den nächsten Schritt beim Aufbau eines Schnelllade-Netzes an deutschen Autobahnen|url=https://www.enbw.com/unternehmen/presse/e-mobilitaet-tank-rast-und-enbw-machen-den-naechsten-schritt-bei.html|publisher=EnBW|date=6 March 2017}} EnBW provides the EnBW mobility+ app, which combines a charging point locator with payment options and covers Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy and the Netherlands.{{cite web|title=EnBW erweitert "mobility+"-Angebot auf Frankreich, Niederlande und Italien|url=https://www.electrive.net/2020/09/01/enbw-erweitert-mobility-angebot-auf-frankreich-niederlande-und-italien/|publisher=electrive.net|date=1 September 2020}} According to an independent study by [https://www.p3-group.com/ P3], [https://cirrantic.com Cirrantic] and [https://www.theon-data.com/ Theon Data],{{cite web|title=EnBW gewinnt zusätzlich Test für das größte Ladenetz in Deutschland Österreich und der Schweiz|url=https://www.emobilserver.de/nachrichten/energie-ladetechnik/2272-enbw-gewinnt-zus%C3%A4tzlich-test-f%C3%BCr-das-gr%C3%B6%C3%9Fte-ladenetz-in-deutschland-%C3%B6sterreich-und-der-schweiz.html|publisher=eMobilServer|date=16 June 2020}} EnBW has the largest charging network spanning Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
