History
In 1882, Nuremberg became the first city in Germany to have permanent electric street lighting, pioneering a development that would fundamentally change cities and later rural areas as well. N-ERGIE, along with its predecessor companies, is considered one of the pioneers of electricity supply in Franconia.[1]
In March 2000, EWAG Energie und Wasserversorgung AG, Fränkische Überlandwerk AG (FÜW), and MEG Mittelfränkische Erdgas GmbH merged to form N-ERGIE Aktiengesellschaft. Städtische Werke Nürnberg GmbH (StWN) holds a 60.2 percent stake and Thüga Aktiengesellschaft a 39.8 percent stake.[2]
