At corporate level, EVN stands out with the acquisition of BayWa Mobility Charging; the company currently operates 30 sites with 170 fast-charging points in Germany and plans to expand to 54 sites by 2027.

EVN subsidiary EVN Energieservices is acquiring BayWa Mobility Charging GmbH, which operates 30 sites and 170 public HPC charging points (up to 400 kW) in Germany, mainly in Bavaria with individual sites in Baden‑Württemberg and North Rhine‑Westphalia. EVN plans to expand the network to 54 sites with 306 HPC charging points by 2027. The acquisition includes Germanynetz sites with subsidy contracts and accelerates EVN’s market entry, while BayWa is pushing the sale as part of its restructuring. The move fits into a consolidation of the competitive fast‑charging market and is likely to create synergies with EVN’s energy business; effects on pricing remain unclear. » More on heise.de

EVN reports a 21% higher group result for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025–2026, at EUR 525.1 million, driven by the regulated network business, activities in Southeast Europe and one-off effects of EUR 52.5 million. EBITDA and EBIT rose by about 5% and 3% respectively, while EBITDA in the generation segment fell by 42% due to drought and poor hydropower conditions. The company confirmed its full-year EBITDA guidance largely unchanged, adjusted the group result forecast to EUR 470–490 million and expects a negative fourth quarter of EUR 35–55 million. EVN plans high investments up to EUR 1 billion annually through 2030 and emphasizes financial flexibility amid a continuing weather-dependent earnings profile. » More on de.investing.com
