Stadtwerke 2023

April 25 + 26, 2023 Hybrid Edition

Crisis as an opportunity: emerging from the crisis with real customer benefits
Transformation, digitization, decarbonization - these buzzwords have been driving the energy industry for several years now, but operational implementation is still lacking.

The pandemic has given the topics a new boost and is now forcing everyone to finally tackle them in a practical way. How can transformation be brought to life? What has changed Corona? What other framework conditions complicate/facilitate change? Where can municipal utilities contribute to decarbonization? How can money continue to be earned in the core business and which services belong in the portfolio of a municipal utility? What does the future-oriented municipal utility look like?
Now we have to tackle numerous challenges to ensure the future viability of municipal utilities and their shareholders, the city and the municipality.
