MVV Energie Gruppe Berlin took over MVV Energiedienstleistungen Wohnen GmbH & Co. KG, Berlin, in its entirety in May 2009. GSW Immobilien GmbH had previously retained a 49 % stake. By pooling its energy and ancillary cost optimisation expertise, our Group has now improved its position in Berlin even further. Supplying more than
100 000 residential units, MVV Energiedienstleistungen is already the leading player in the real estate utility market in the federal capital.

MVV Energiedienstleistungen also reported several successes in its hospital and rehabilitation clinic business. One example is the Association of Private Hospitals (VdPK) in the states of Hessen and Rheinland-Pfalz, which signed a master cooperation agreement in April 2009. This cooperation enables the hospitals to cut their energy costs by around 10 percent without having to make any investments themselves.

In August 2009, MVV Energie Gruppe, Mannheim, founded RNE Rhein-Neckar Energie GmbH, Sinsheim, together with AVR Abfallverwertungsgesellschaft des Rhein-Neckar-Kreises, a waste disposal company in the Rhine/Neckar district. The new company will focus on large-scale environmentallyfriendly biomass cogeneration plants and on resource-efficient energy saving contracting projects.
