Germany's Hamburg utility operator for gas, power, and hydrogen networks
Hamburger Energienetze operates Hamburg's gas, electricity, and hydrogen distribution networks. The tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (S/4HANA, IS-U, BTP, RAP, Fiori) with GIS and engineering-design tools (EPLAN, BIM), reflecting a traditional utility's digital transformation toward cloud infrastructure and modern UI frameworks. Active hiring skews engineering (893 roles) against ops (138), suggesting a push to automate network operations and expand hydrogen/EV charging infrastructure while grappling with cost control on Azure and Citrix stability.
