E.ON enters next growth phase with newly formed Management Board

Essen, June 3rd, 2024

E.ON has completed the changes to its Board of Management announced in March of this year and is entering its next phase of growth. Effective June 1, Marc Spieker, previously CFO of E.ON SE, took over as Chief Operating Officer Commercial for the customer solutions business with its segments Energy Retail and Energy Infrastructure Solutions. In his new role he succeeds Patrick Lammers, who left the company. Nadia Jakobi, previously CEO of E.ON Energy Markets, succeeds Marc Spieker as Chief Financial Officer. She joins the E.ON Board of Management, which, in addition to CEO Leonhard Birnbaum, also includes Thomas König, responsible for the Energy Networks segment, and Victoria Ossadnik, responsible for digitalization and innovation.

CEO Leonhard Birnbaum: “Europe is more dependent than ever on a future-proof and intelligent energy infrastructure that enables sustainable, secure and affordable energy. Our investment plan shows the scale on which E.ON is driving this transformation. In addition to investments, we need people who are courageous, creative, motivated, and willing to take on responsibility. With Nadia Jakobi as a new member of our Board of Management and my long-time colleague Marc Spieker in his new role, we have two such leaders who are passionately committed to a future-oriented energy system. I look forward to working with them to seize the opportunities of the energy transition for E.ON.”

Nadia Jakobi: “The growth opportunities of the new energy world for E.ON are associated with high investments in energy infrastructure. This means enormous financing needs. The successful implementation of our Group’s financing and investment strategy is therefore a high priority for me. With our € 42 billion investment program until 2028, we are making a significant contribution to driving forward the energy transition in Europe.”

Marc Spieker: “The business with sustainable customer and energy infrastructure solutions plays a central role in achieving our growth targets—and in making E.ON a key player in achieving Europe’s climate protection goals. I look forward to growing this business with a strong team and to inspiring businesses, municipalities, and households enthusiastic with our sustainable energy solutions.”

After years of fundamental restructuring and successfully overcoming the energy crisis, E.ON is entering a decisive growth phase in the energy sector with a clear focus on network infrastructure and sustainable customer solutions. To this end, the company plans to invest a total of € 42 billion through 2028. At around € 34 billion, the lion’s share will be invested in the network #business, with more than € 25 billion of the network investments to be made in Germany. Other areas of investment include digitization projects, the roll-out of smart meters and intelligent charging solutions for electric vehicles. With this investment offensive, E.ON is underscoring its claim to be the playmaker of the green energy transition in Germany and Europe. More …
