Energy supplier presents strong results for 2025 and plans investments of around 1.1 billion euros by 2030
The Darmstadt-based energy and telecommunications provider ENTEGA concluded the 2025 financial year with a better-than-expected result. Despite a challenging market environment characterized by geopolitical uncertainties, fluctuating energy prices, and increasing regulatory requirements, the company significantly increased its gross profit and improved its operating result. At the same time, the company announced extensive investments in the region's energy, water, and fiber optic infrastructure.
The ENTEGA Group's total revenue amounted to €3.121 billion last year . Operating profit (EBIT) reached €121.7 million, exceeding expectations by €6.4 million. Net profit also exceeded forecasts, reaching €46.4 million
“In 2025 we demonstrated that we can achieve growth, investment and stability simultaneously,” explained CEO Thomas Schmidt at the presentation of the financial statements.
Significantly improved gross profit
According to the company, ENTEGA benefited from, among other things, higher electricity sales in the business customer segment and positive developments in the grid and generation business. At the same time, material costs fell by approximately €46.6 million compared to the previous year, to €2.57 billion.
This increased gross profit by €56.4 million. Other operating income also rose significantly.
The number of employees rose from an average of 2,370 to 2,458. Accordingly, personnel expenses also increased to approximately 233 million euros.
Investments of 1.1 billion euros are planned
In 2025, ENTEGA invested €206.8 million. For the years 2026 to 2030, the company plans total investments of approximately €1.1 billion.
The main focus areas are:
- Expansion of the fiber optic network
- Modernization and digitalization of electricity distribution networks
- Water pipe renovation
- Expansion of the district heating network, especially in Darmstadt
According to the company, this is intended to create the conditions for the energy and heat transition in southern Hesse.
Expansion of renewable energies
ENTEGA operates or owns wind farms with a capacity of almost 260 megawatts and solar parks with 48 megawatts.
Last year, these plants generated more than 750 million kilowatt hours of green electricity. This corresponds to the annual consumption of approximately 260,000 households and avoids about 595,000 tons of CO₂.
In the future, the expansion of wind and solar energy should be even more strongly focused on regional projects.
Energy transition and digitalization
ENTEGA is also focusing on long-term investments in the expansion of district heating. This is based on the municipal heat plan for the city of Darmstadt, adopted at the end of 2025. At the same time, the extraction of heat from the Darmstadt waste incineration plant is being further developed.
Another focus is on digitalization. Over the Easter weekend of 2026, the IT subsidiary COUNT+CARE, together with the Mainz municipal utilities, migrated the group's central billing systems to SAP S/4HANA Utilities .
At the same time, ENTEGA is further advancing the fiber optic expansion in Darmstadt and the districts of Darmstadt-Dieburg, Bergstraße and Odenwald.
Dividend remains stable
The Management Board and Supervisory Board are proposing a dividend of €0.37 per share . With approximately 86 million shares outstanding, this corresponds to a payout of €31.7 million , a level comparable to previous years.
According to the company, economic stability, high investments and a reliable dividend policy should remain compatible in the future.
