Kehl invested: City increases shares in the E-Werk Mittelbaden drastically!

Kehl, Deutschland - The city of Kehl intensified its commitment in energy supply: From January 1, 2025, it will increase its stake in the electricity plant in Mittelbaden AG & Co. KG (E-Werk Mittelbaden) to five percent, while previously only 0.18 percent. This decision that the municipal council has made comes after the sale of shares by other shareholders, in particular the EnBW municipal investments GmbH, which gives 3.13 percent. With this higher participation, the city also secures a seat on the company's supervisory board, which strengthens the co -determination in the expansion of regional energy suppliers, such as reported.

The Kehler Mayor Wolfram Britz sees an important way to promote the climate goals and to establish sustainable projects to Kehl, including the conversion of street lighting to energy-efficient systems and the expansion of solar and wind turbines. The city of Lahr also becomes the largest shareholder of the E-Werk Mittelbaden and thus strengthens local cooperation in the region. "As municipalities, we have to have a strong common appearance," emphasizes Oliver Martini, Mayor of Offenburg, which emphasizes the need for a strong network in energy supply. The increasingly high meaning Kehls as a hub in the energy supply in Baden should not be underestimated, such as Kehl.de Notes.

With the increase in participation, Kehl will not only benefit financially, but also play a more active role in the future development of the E-Werk Mittelbaden. The board of directors of the E-Werk confirms the intention of investing 100 million euros annually in the expansion of networks and renewable energies by 2027. As part of these developments, the Kehler port is put into focus as a central location for wind turbines in South Baden, which sets the course for an economically promising future.
