Overview
- BEW confirmed on Tuesday that it will invest about €3.5 billion through 2030 and keep its pledge to stop burning coal by 2030.
- Management presented 2025 results showing revenue of roughly €1.8 billion, a net profit of €80.2 million, and about €417–420 million of investments as the financial base for the build‑out.
- BEW has moved to a more flexible decarbonization roadmap through 2035 that prioritizes electrification, power‑to‑heat, local waste‑heat reuse and geothermal options while leaving multiple post‑2035 pathways open, including hydrogen scenarios.
- Major demolition and reconstruction work is underway at the Klingenberg site with crews dismantling old plants and new infrastructure being installed while the plant continues to supply heat to customers.
- Reporting notes an unresolved discrepancy in the network length (BEW cites ~200 km while other coverage says >2,000 km), and officials stress price stability for households as investments proceed.
