The Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV) has been promoting the expansion of charging infrastructure in multi-party buildings since April 15, 2026. It is supporting the purchase and installation of non-public systems. The aim is to accelerate electromobility. Charging facilities should be available where people live. SWK Stadtwerke Kaiserslautern is supporting the implementation as the Palatinate's local energy partner. ]]> Wallbox zum E-Laden hängt in einer privaten Garage eines Mehrfamilienhauses

On March 19, 2026, the SWK Energy Forum took place for the fifteenth time at Kammgarn Kaiserslautern. The event for citizens focused on municipal heating planning. Can we make Kaiserslautern climate-neutral by 2040? What can SWK and the city do to make the energy transition a success? ]]> Gruppenfoto auf der Bühne der Kammgarn im Zuge des Energieforums mit Holger Wienpahl (Moderator), Dr. Arvid Blume (Vorstand SWK),

Energy supplies from the Arab world are influencing the global energy market. The Iran war and its effects in the Middle East also affect us. We are currently noticing this particularly in the rise in petrol prices. How is the Iran crisis affecting energy prices and security of supply in the Kaiserslautern region? ]]> Christian Welter (SWK Bereichsleiter Vertrieb) und Dankel Strauß (SWK Abteilungsleiter Vertrieb, Handel und Energiebeschaffung)

SWK's water traffic light provides early information on the status of the drinking water supply. It will remain green in March 2026. An important criterion for the water traffic light is the level of the Lauterspring spring, which we constantly monitor. ]]> Bachlauf im Pfälzer Wald, klares Wassr fließt in einem niedrigen BAchlauf bei schönem Wetter durch den Sommerwald.

Gerry Ehrmann has cult status at 1. FC Kaiserslautern. He is the talent forger for goalkeepers in German soccer. And he relies on the SWK-Solar lease model.
