MVV Energie AG has appointed Hansjorg Roll, currently technical director at MVV Umwelt GmbH, as new chief technical officer, effective January 1, 2015. Dr. Hansjorg Roll first acted as Managing Director at the industrial power plant in Ludwigshafen and at the biomass CHP plant in Gengenbach in southern Baden before being appointed as Technical Director at MVV Umwelt GmbH in 2008. Here, he has been instrumental in developing and implementing the Group's growth strategy in the field of sustainable energy generation from waste and biomass.

He is responsible in particular for the construction of two new power plants in Plymouth and Ridham Dock in the UK, where operations are due to be launched at the beginning of 2015. Dr. Hansjorg Roll will thus succeed Dr. Werner Dub, who is retiring at the end of the year following 15 years on the Management Board of MVV Energie AG.
