New in the QuantumBW network: EnBW AG

One of the largest energy compa­nies in Germany and Europe, EnBW AG, joins QuantumBW. With an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary approach, EnBW is build­ing up knowl­edge for market oppor­tu­ni­ties arising from future devel­op­ments in quantum comput­ing in the energy system.

The QuantumBW network is growing and we are delighted to welcome our newe member EnBW AG! As one of the largest energy compa­nies in Germany and Europe, EnBW applies an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary approach to closely follow the latest devel­op­ments in quantum comput­ing in order to identify the disrup­tive poten­tial of the technol­ogy for various use cases in the energy sector at an early stage. The practi­cal experi­ence, use cases and require­ments from the energy sector are a valuable contri­bu­tion to accel­er­at­ing the trans­fer of quantum comput­ing into appli­ca­tion. We look forward to working together in our QuantumBW ecosystem.

About EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG

With over 28,000 employ­ees, EnBW is one of the largest energy compa­nies in Germany and Europe. It supplies around 5.5 million customers with electric­ity, gas, water as well as services and products in the areas of infra­struc­ture and energy. As part of its realign­ment from a tradi­tional energy supplier to a sustain­able infra­struc­ture company, the expan­sion of renew­able energies and the distri­b­u­tion and trans­mis­sion grids for electric­ity and gas are corner­stones of EnBW’s growth strat­egy and the focus of its invest­ments. EnBW plans to invest €40 billion gross by 2030, around 90% of which will be in Germany. By the end of 2025, more than half of EnBW’s gener­a­tion portfo­lio is to consist of renew­able energies, and the aim is to phase out coal by the end of 2028. These are key milestones on the company’s path to climate neutral­ity by 2035.
