Stadtwerke München (SWM) is the municipal supply and services company of the
Bavarian state capital Munich and its region. The state capital Munich owns 100
percent of SWM. Hence SWM belongs to the citizens of Munich, and is therefore
an important constituent of the municipal public services. For decades, SWM has
stood for safe, reliable public services and resource conservation in supplying
the Bavarian metropolis with energy (electricity, natural, district heat) and
spring-fresh drinking water from the Bavarian sub-Alpine countryside. In
addition to generating power and supplying water, the services provided also
include power network management, distribution and sales. Its traffic
subsidiary MVG is responsible for the underground, buses and trams, and as such
is a major pillar of Munich's local public transportation system. Furthermore,
with 18 indoor and outdoor swimming pools, SWM operates one of the most modern
bathing districts in Germany.

With their reasonably priced products, customer-oriented services and
forward-looking infrastructure work, such as the optic fibre network expansion,
or the expansion of the district heat network, SWM is making an important
contribution to the municipal public services, and hence to the economic power
and quality of life in Munich and the region. SWM employs over 7,000 staff,
making it one of the biggest employers in Munich.

 

SWM's energy generation programme focuses on an intelligent energy mix of
cogeneration plants, hydroelectricity, photovoltaic power, biogas, wind power,
and geothermal energy.
