Segment reports
In line with its strategic realignment, MVV Energie has also amended its internal planning and control approach starting in the 2010/11 financial year. The previous product-based reporting segments of electricity, district heating, gas, water, value-added services and environmental energy were still valid in the 2009/10 financial year.
These are being replaced by the following reporting segments newly defined in line with the new management perspective and as the Group’s topmost control and reporting level:

The new planning and control approach is based on a uniform group-wide value creation stage model across the Mannheim, Kiel and Offenbach locations. Together with a joint operating process model, this will enable us to tap synergies in order to raise the global optimum within the MVV Energie Group.
Within the framework of our new planning and control approach, our external reporting was also be adapted to the new reporting segments from the 2010/11 financial year. The business fields will be allocated to these segments in line with their respective value creation stage.
