Formal confirmation of the accessibility of our website

We have the following formal confirmation of the accessibility of our website: Based on WCAG 2.2 at conformance level "AA" according to the report named above. The last review here took place on 06/05/25.

Incompatibilities

The existing known incompatibilities are listed below:

1. Non-accessible content

1.1 Text alternatives for graphic page elements

• Linked images and graphic buttons sometimes have no text alternative or this is not equivalent.
• Unlinked, information-bearing images and multimedia objects do not always have an equivalent text alternative.

1.2 Semantic structuring and adaptability

• Subheadings are not always marked up using HTML structural elements.
• The labels "Salutation" and "Postcode" in the contact form are not correctly linked to the associated form field.
• In some cases - such as error handling in the contact form - reference is made exclusively to sensory features such as color and positioning. These references are not comprehensible without the perception of sensory characteristics.

1.3 Distinctness

• Fonts and colors are used on the website in elements that do not have sufficient contrast to the respective background.
• To mitigate this incompatibility, a high-contrast switch has been added to the page frame of this website, which improves the distinctiveness of this content.
• The browser zoom is supported by the website, but when using the text zoom or when enlarging fonts, overlays occur. some parts of the page overlap or are cut off.
• In the case of very small displays, e.g. a display width of 320px, individual content on the website is cut off.
• The flyout menu of a menu item in the main navigation only closes when the hover state of the mouse is changed, but it does not close when the keyboard focus is changed.

1.4 Keyboard operation

• The website can only be operated with the keyboard to a limited extent.
• The current keyboard focus is not visible. Some controls such as the jump marker to the top of the page, the scroll function of the teaser slider on the home page and the entire mobile menu cannot be reached or operated using the keyboard.

1.5 Time limits and moving content

• The teaser slider on the home page automatically switches between different content. This movement does not stop automatically, nor can it be stopped manually.

1.6 Readability

• The website is currently offered in German.
  Non-German words, e.g. technical terms, are not marked.

1.7 Other

• The HTML of the website is not valid.
• PDFs available for download, such as flyers, are not accessible.
• Content is not yet provided in plain language or sign language.

The offers that are currently not fully accessible will be successively adapted accordingly.

2. Disproportionate burden

Here, the exception due to disproportionate burden according to Art. 5 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 is temporarily invoked here.

• Subtitles for videos have not yet been fully maintained or automatically created in some cases (WCAG success criterion 1.2.2).
• No audio description is provided for videos that require an audio description (WCAG success criterion 1.2.3).
• Integrated, external third-party content, for example videos, podcasts or posts from social media platforms are not fully accessible.

Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. The data will be deleted after 14 days at the latest.

We also use cookies and analysis services when you visit the website. You can find more detailed explanations on this in sections 9 and 11 of this privacy policy.

b) When using the contact form or contacting us by email

If you have any questions, we offer you the opportunity to contact the company using a form provided on the website or by email. It is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address so that we know who sent the request and can respond to it. Further information can be provided voluntarily. You are free to decide whether you wish to enter this data in the contact form or in the email.
The data entered will be processed to deal with your inquiry. The data will be deleted immediately after your request has been processed, provided there are no statutory retention periods.

The legal basis for data processing is, if the request is necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR and, in the case of statutory retention requirements, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, otherwise the legitimate interests, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We also have a legitimate interest in processing your inquiries that are not of a pre-contractual or contractual nature in order to offer you the best possible service.

Otherwise, the data will be deleted immediately after your request has been answered.

6. Further information on the legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which consent must be obtained for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about services and products. If we are subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. In this case, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Furthermore, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of us or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator (see recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

7. Consideration of legitimate interests

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance and fulfillment of our business activities for the benefit of our employees and shareholders.

How about a career challenge in a super cool team?

Around 3,000 people worldwide are committed to the Hörmann Group and its products and services, so that the family-run group of companies has been able to achieve a status as a so-called "hidden champion" for 70 years.

Enex Power Germany has been part of the Hörmann Group since 2006. We are always looking for nice people to enrich our small but dynamic company with their ideas, motivation, knowledge, skills and commitment. 

We don't offer the much-cited fruit basket or water for free, we offer much more.

Interested?
Send us your unsolicited application if what we do tickles your brain and heart.
Let's get to know each other.

Why work at Enex Power Germany?

Counter question:
Why not?

Despite its enormous growth, the Hörmann Group has always retained its medium-sized character. And this includes first gaining experience itself in order to then be able to provide its customers with the best possible service.

With this in mind, Enex Power Germany also initially carried out its own deep drilling work and research projects in order to gain the "in-depth" experience that is essential for good consulting services.

Based on this, Enex Power Germany offers its experience and skills in project development and implementation of complex, multidisciplinary energy projects.

Eavor Loop^TM Geretsried

Initial talks started right back in 2019. Enex Power Germany was appointed project manager for the world's first “Eavor Loop” project in Geretsried near Munich from the outset and in this role is responsible for the coordination, control, organization and execution of various planning tasks, including the awarding of contracts for above-ground trades for Eavor Erdwärme Geretsried GmbH. The pioneering geothermal concept as an underground heat exchanger with parallel operation of two drilling rigs opens up multiple interface issues and numerous new technical and planning challenges.

"Andreas Gahr provided us with great support with his in-depth knowledge of the details on site. As a converter and mediator between the worlds he and his team were and are an important asset in our project. The Eavor-Loop^TM technology, which means that in addition to two deep drilling rigs in simultaneous operation, we also have a power plant and a hot water circuit under construction, and all this on a difficult subsurface, brings us new challenges every day. We very much welcome being able to solve these with Enex Power and Andreas Gahr in particular."
Daniel Moelk, Eavor Erdwärme Geretsried

Vaterstetten

On the basis of the existing preliminary geological plans, an economic feasibility study was first carried out to determine whether the geothermal borehole could be operated economically with the planned expansion of the heating network - also against the background of the heat prices to be represented to the end customers. The next step was to prepare the feasibility study for the BEW funding program and the transformation plan for the existing district heating network in the municipality of Vaterstetten. Based on this calculation, four municipalities founded their own geothermal energy production company, GeoEnergieMünchenOst GmbH.

"Fortunately, our project gained significant momentum with the preparation of the profitability calculation. Based on Enex Power's project experience, comprehensible input parameters were defined that could be explained to all parties involved. The sensitivities were also used to show and explain to each local council the effects of a reduced discovery or increased drilling costs or, in particular, higher own consumption costs. Enex Power prepared the feasibility study for the application for Module 2 and the transformation plan for the Vaterstetten district heating network in a perfect manner. Hence it was a logic consequence that we have now commissioned Enex Power for the statement on the preliminary EIA assessment; and here, too, we received approval from the Bergamt Südbayern shortly after submission."
Tobias Aschwer, climate protection manager for the municipality of Vaterstetten

Kirchweidach-Halsbach

Enex Power supported the Naturwärme Kirchweidach-Halsbach project company from the very early stages of obtaining geological reports and detailed drilling planning. The next step was to draft the various permit applications, including the exploration permit and ecological audits, through to the main and special operating plans. The preliminary planning phase led to the technical and economic feasibility study, which also served as the basis for state funding (Bundesförderung für effiziente Wärmenetze BEW).
Along with drill site planning and support for the associated construction tendering process, Enex Power also participated in the awarding procedures for the drilling contractor and provided support in drafting the drilling contract. Enex Power supervised the entire drilling phase of the first well plus side track in the role of project manager.

“In the 'Waldweihnacht' project, we managed to go from exploration permit to main operating plan and production approval to the start of drilling site construction in just one year. All these preliminary stages were achieved by Enex Power. During the drilling work, Enex Power moderated and managed the entire process of consideration between geologists, external drilling consultants, the drilling contractor and us as the client. Although this model of project management during the deep drilling work is not always common, this down-to-earth moderation between the trades by project managers who are not primarily geologists or drilling engineers has proved its worth. It speaks for the quality of Enex Power to keep calm even in difficult situations and to break the facts down to the essentials in a way that is factual and understandable for all parties involved. This facilitated the understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the various options for all parties involved in order to arrive at a clear decision. When we wanted to make a second attempt with a completely new team after the failure, Enex Power provided all the information and documents required for the reassessment of the geology, which was very conducive to a loss-free transfer of knowledge. Even though we terminated the contractual relationship after the initial failure, we are still more than satisfied with the services provided by Enex Power.”
Hans Wimmer, Contract Manager of Naturwärme Kirchweidach-Halsbach GmbH & Co. KG

Bergkirchen

For the Bergkirchen project, the existing district heating network, fed from a waste recycling plant, was compared with the variant of a newly constructed wood-fired heating plant. The contract was extended to include a fundamental examination of the extent to which deep geothermal energy or wind power should be included in the further municipal considerations.
"Enex Power handled our request convincingly. When a district heating network that has been growing since 2011 requires considerations for changing the heat generator, both the quality of the technical assessment and fair and good treatment of all project participants are required, since the contract affects existing structures. Ultimately, Enex Power even advised us on questions from the municipal council regarding deep geothermal energy and wind power, and we subsequently decided to commission Enex Power to also prepare a strategy paper on the expansion of municipal heating. Enex tailored its planning services precisely to our requirements."

"Kemco Drilling GmbH and Enex Power Germany GmbH provided us with very competent advice right from the start with regard to potential drill site planning for medium-depth wells in the Altglienicke district. It was particularly important for us to discuss possible options and acoustic optimizations with highly specialized consultants and to develop approaches to solutions for deep drilling in heavily populated areas.“
Hannes Junker, Berliner Energie und Wärme AG
