We have been concentrating on efficient, reliable distribution and utilisation of energy. Our strength and extensive experience in our traditional core competencies, i.e. electric power, district heating, gas, water, and waste-management service — in which we can look back upon a 100-year tradition — have allowed us to enter new segments of the market with high growth potential. In that we can combine our core competencies with value-added services, consulting and renewable energy, we can offer solutions tailored to the individual needs of our customers — both nationally and internationally. Piece by piece, we have built up new areas of expertise in various sectors. In so doing, we have taken advantage of opportunities for eBusiness, for example by setting up various web portals on the Internet.
