Dr. Gabriël Clemens appointed as Chief Executive Officer of MVV Energie AG
At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of MVV Energie AG appointed Dr. Gabriël Clemens (53) to be Chief Executive Officer of MVV Energie AG as of 1 April 2025. He has been appointed for a five-year term and will succeed longstanding CEO Dr. Georg Müller.
The Chair of the Supervisory Board, Mannheim’s Lord High Mayor Christian Specht, declared: “We are delighted to have gained a highly successful management personality in Dr. Clemens, one whose long track record of management activity in the energy industry will enable him to contribute in-depth sector expertise and proven specialist business competence. We are convinced he is the ideal candidate to continue tackling the challenges presented by the energy transition and lead the MVV Group into what will also be a successful future.”
Dr. Clemens holds a degree and a doctorate in engineering and, as CEO Green Gas, has worked in the management of Eon Hydrogen GmbH in Essen since 2021. In this role, he is responsible for hydrogen activities at the energy company Eon. Prior to this, Dr. Clemens, who was born in the Netherlands and holds a German passport, was an Executive Board member with responsibility for technology at VSE AG, a Saarland-based energy service provider. Between 2009 and 2014, he also held various senior positions within the RWE Group. Comments Dr. Clemens: “MVV is one of Germany’s leading energy companies, one that has set itself apart from its competitors with its strategic focus on climate protection and its broad-based portfolio. I look forward to working with the whole team to further develop MVV’s superb market position and thus help drive the sustainable and profitable growth of the group of companies in future as well.”
In addition, Christian Specht acknowledged the successes achieved by the retiring Chief Executive Officer and “architect” of the Mannheim Model: “In more than 16 years as MVV’s CEO, Dr. Müller has played a key role in shaping the company’s fortunes. Under his leadership, MVV has transformed itself into a pioneer of the energy transition. Its #climatepositive course is consistently promoting the transformation in the energy system in Germany and abroad and has simultaneously shown that climate protection can be turned into business success. For this, I would like to thank Dr. Müller on behalf of all members of the Supervisory Board of MVV Energie AG.”
Dr. Müller will conclude his term in office as of 31 March 2025 and will therefore still be available to the company at its Annual General Meeting to be held in Mannheim on 14 March 2025.
