Energy efficiency, digitalization, and new business models for building owners are at the heart of Minol's innovation strategy. The company has once again received an award for this.

Leinfelden-Echterdingen, April 2026. Minol remains an innovation leader in the energy services sector. In the latest study by ServiceValue and WELT TV , the company has secured the top spot among energy service providers in Germany for the sixth consecutive year. This renewed recognition confirms the company's chosen course: Minol consistently focuses on the energy efficiency of buildings and regularly develops solutions that support owners and managers in implementing the energy transition.

“Being recognized once again as the most innovative energy service provider shows that we are still on the right track. Our focus is on improving the energy efficiency of buildings and supporting our customers and their tenants with practical solutions on the path to a climate-neutral building stock,” says [name/title of speaker]. Ralf Görner, Managing Director of Minol Messtechnik W. Lehmann GmbH & Co. KG.

Practical solutions for the energy transition in buildings

The building sector plays a central role in achieving national climate targets. Minol provides landlords and property managers with tools to make energy consumption more transparent and to systematically unlock efficiency potential.

One example is B.One Guide. This digital solution helps property owners analyze the energy efficiency of their buildings and derive suitable renovation and modernization measures. Owners thus receive a sound basis for decision-making regarding the long-term and sustainable development of their properties.

Minol is also setting new standards in the expansion of decentralized energy supply. With B.One tenant electricity, self-generated solar power can be used directly in the building. Residents benefit from affordable electricity from renewable energy sources, while owners can make their properties more sustainable.

Innovations for a climate-neutral building stock

Minol consistently aligns its innovation strategy with solutions that work in the everyday practice of the housing industry. The focus is on digital applications, new business models, and services that enable owners to optimize the energy efficiency of their buildings. The long-term goal is clear: a climate-neutral building stock.

“The energy transition in the building sector will only succeed if technical innovations are also economically and organizationally feasible,” says Görner. “That’s why we develop solutions that prove themselves in practice and offer our customers concrete options for action.”

Background to the study

In cooperation with WELT, the Cologne-based analysis institute ServiceValue surveyed several thousand executives about the innovative strength of German companies. A total of approximately 189.000 evaluations from executives of 1.975 companies across 105 sectors were included in the study. The companies' innovative strength, both company-specific and market-related, was assessed. Strategies, concepts, and perceived innovative capacity were among the factors considered in the analysis. The "Most Innovative Energy Service Provider" award is given to the companies with the highest average scores within their respective sectors.
