About the Company

Heat and energy are our contribution to quality of life – every day.

As BEW Berliner Energie undwärme GmbH, we supply the capital with climate-friendly electricity and heat. At more than 2,000 kilometers long, our district heating network is the largest in Western Europe. We supply around a third of Berlin households with heat.

With the know-how of our 2,300 employees, we cover the entire district heating value chain - from generation to network operation and expansion to sales. We are working hard to phase out coal by 2030 and to achieve climate-neutral production from 2045. In this way, we are significantly supporting the state of Berlin in achieving its climate goals.

On the way there, we want to achieve a higher proportion of renewable energy and waste heat. To do this, we have to redesign many of our locations and facilities. For this challenge and the tasks associated with it, we need people who are fully committed to our common goal of a local heating transition - people like you.
