Schönau Power Utility (EWS) Elektrizitätswerke Schönau (EWS)

Schönau Power Utility (EWS) has its roots in the anti-nuclear movement and in the 1990s became a pioneer as it succeeded in 1996 in raising the funds for its electricity grid. As a citizen-owned company, EWS is still committed to phasing out nuclear power, protecting the climate and decentralising and democratising the energy industry. The fight for a sustainable energy future shapes its entrepreneurial and social action. EWS is engaged in promoting a sustainable energy supply, energy justice and climate protection against nuclear power and coal-fired power. EWS is cooperatively structured, and its companies combine economy with civic engagement.
