Stadtwerke Gießen was once again awarded the TOP local supplier seal in the electricity, gas and heat sectors in 2025.
Top position in the electricity and gas sectors for 14 years in a row, first place in the heat sector for seven years without interruption - Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG) is THE provider of energy in the region. This was confirmed by the strict auditors of the energy consumption portal: they awarded SWG the TOP local supplier award in the electricity, gas and heat sectors for 2025 as well.
Many important criteria
To be named TOP local supplier, an energy supply company must clearly stand out from the competition in numerous criteria. Price naturally plays an important role in this comparison, but it is not the only one. In fact, services that energy supply companies provide for the region and the environment are also included in the assessment. These include aspects such as security of supply, sustainability, service quality, advisory services, ecological, regional and social commitment, future issues and data protection. "Against the backdrop of the current geopolitical situation, these factors are becoming increasingly important," says Andreas Hergaß, Commercial Director of SWG. "That's why we are proud to receive the TOP Local Supplier award. Because it recognises our work in all its facets."
Being able to maintain its position as a TOP local supplier over such a long period of time is the result of consistent, focussed work. For this reason, SWG will not rest on its laurels even after so many years at the top, but will continue on its chosen path. "Providing services of general interest in the region is our most important concern. Energy supply naturally plays a central role in this. Consequently, we are doing everything we can to continue to shape it in such a way that it fulfils the required environmental policy goals and continues to function safely and reliably in the future," summarises Andreas Hergaß.
