Mayor Dirk Bastin to Lead TWS Energy Transition as Chairman

Dirk Bastin, the mayor of Ravensburg, will take over as the chairman of the supervisory board of Technische Werke Schussental GmbH & Co. KG (TWS) from January 1, 2025. He will hold this position for two years, as the chairmanship alternates every two years between the representatives of the two main shareholders, the municipalities of Ravensburg and Weingarten.

Bastin aims to drive the energy transition in the region, with a particular focus on expanding heat networks. TWS, which operates over 100 heat generation facilities, is already at the forefront of this effort, working to expand district heating networks in Ravensburg and Weingarten.

The supervisory board of TWS, consisting of 14 representatives from the two municipalities, EnBW, and the employees' side, will support Bastin's initiatives. Alexander Geiger, the mayor of Weingarten, will serve as the deputy chairman during Bastin's term.

Bastin's chairmanship, along with TWS's ongoing efforts to sharpen its ecological profile through investments in renewable energy facilities and innovative mobility concepts, signals a commitment to a secure and climate-neutral heat supply in the region.
