No chemistry without energy
Founded in early 2013, this subsidiary of Covestro Deutschland AG operates the distribution networks at Covestro Brunsbüttel Industrial Park. Approximately 400 kilometers of power cables and around eight kilometers of natural gas pipelines have been installed throughout the site. This is how natural gas and electricity are fed directly into the production plants – with greatest reliability and precision.
Around 20 employees are responsible for monitoring the technology, maintaining the energy systems, measuring consumption and billing. The team ensures that each customer receives exactly the quantities and grades of natural gas and electricity they need. And all of this at favorable terms – thanks to intelligent procurement strategies and active portfolio management.
And this not only ensures smooth production in the industrial park. Energie GmbH also helps the resident companies remain competitive because customers can save on energy costs for natural gas and electricity.
