Following several profitable transactions, such as the sale of the subsidiary STEAG Power Minerals and the successful participation in decommissioning auctions under the German Act on the Termination of Power Generation from Coal (KVBG), the Essen-based energy company has reached important milestones on its way to becoming a smart energy service provider. From today\u2019s perspective, only the ultra-modern Walsum 10 hard coal fired power plant will play an active part on the electricity market from November 2022 onwards. There, STEAG is looking into a possible switch to wood pellets as a CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0neutral fuel. This will enable the coal phase-out in Germany to be completed within a very short time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are rapidly phasing out coal-fired power generation and opening up new growth areas and markets outside our existing core business: with integrated energy solutions for the decarbonization of industrial production processes, with energy from renewables, and with the development of digital business models,\u201d says Joachim Rumstadt, Chairman of the Board of Management at STEAG.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the recent good business performance has also contributed to a noticeable improvement in the company\u2019s economic situation, and STEAG will now enter a new phase of transformation with a changed focus. As a result, there will also be a change in the management board: Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) Carsten K\u00f6nig, Managing Director of the management consultancy AlixPartners, is leaving the company. The expert in financial and operational reorganization had been appointed a director of STEAG in February this year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12885\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12885\" style=\"width: 273px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/2025.mining-report.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/KN_01_STEAG_Ralf_Schmitz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12885 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/2025.mining-report.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/KN_01_STEAG_Ralf_Schmitz-273x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"273\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mining-report.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/KN_01_STEAG_Ralf_Schmitz-273x300.jpg 273w, https:\/\/mining-report.de\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/KN_01_STEAG_Ralf_Schmitz.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 273px) 100vw, 273px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12885\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fig. 2.

A partner in the D\u00fcsseldorf-based management consultancy Schmitz &amp; Partner, he has extensive experience in the restructuring and transformation of industrial companies. Schmitz now becomes the 5th member of the STEAG management board alongside Rumstadt (Chairman), Andreas Reichel (Human Resources), Heiko Sanders (Finance) and Ralf Schiele (Market and Technology).<\/p>\n<p>Guntram Pehlke, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of STEAG GmbH, thanks the outgoing CTO for his dedicated service to the company in the recent months: \u201cCarsten K\u00f6nig was ready to take on this task at short notice and \u2013 in view of STEAG\u2019s situation at the time \u2013 under difficult conditions. For this, he deserves our special thanks.\u201d The Chairman of STEAG\u2019s Supervisory Board believes that the continuation of the direction taken towards a future-oriented alignment of the energy company is now in good hands with Schmitz and the rest of the management team: \u201cThe foundation has been laid, and now it is a matter of implementing the next steps in a practicable and effective manner.\u201d (STEAG\/Si.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STEAG GmbH (Figure 1) is making significant progress in its process of transformation initiated in the autumn of 2020.
