FRONTIERS IN UTILITY
Stadtwerke Trier [SWT] is a utility and infrastructure service provider that supplies electricity, gas, drinking water, wastewater management, public transportation etc. to the city of Trier.
What sets apart SWT from any other utility and infrastructure service provider is its unique management model, which is essentially based on cooperation between different business entities creating synergies for efficient ‘Regional Material Flow Management’ toward a higher degree of climate protection.
Towards achieving triple- bottomline sustainability and climate protection, renewable resources and sustainable technologies utilisation are systemic to SWTs work. This model could be an archetypal example of how sustainable utility and infrastructure may be implemented in conventional municipalities around the world.
