EWE NETZ GmbH serves as the primary gas and electricity distribution network operator in northern Germany. It is a key subsidiary within the EWE Group, which is one of the largest energy companies in the region. The company focuses on the reliable operation and expansion of energy grids to support both conventional and renewable energy sources.
Its main activities include the management of high, medium, and low voltage electricity networks as well as natural gas pipelines. EWE NETZ is actively involved in the integration of biomethane into the gas grid, facilitating the energy transition by connecting biogas plants to the distribution system. This is evident in projects such as the one in Friesoythe where it receives biomethane injections.
Headquartered in Oldenburg, the company operates across several federal states in Germany, primarily Lower Saxony. It is regulated by German energy laws and contributes to national goals for reducing carbon emissions through grid modernization and renewable integration. As part of a larger corporate group, EWE NETZ benefits from the resources and expertise of EWE AG while maintaining its focus on regional infrastructure development.
The organization positions itself as a critical enabler in Germany's shift towards sustainable energy, working with various stakeholders including renewable energy producers and local authorities to ensure efficient and secure energy supply.
