New internal organisation creates better conditions for strategic and business success

2022 saw several organisational changes at Verdo aimed at ensuring the entire organisation is best equipped in the future to achieve the ambitious goals in Verdo’s corporate strategy.

Continued positive growth at Verdo will not only benefit Verdo’s around 530 employees, but also very much the green transition and development in Verdo’s local community.

New organisation in Energi & Forsyning headed by new director

In 2022, the Energi & Forsyning division was re-organised.

We decided to combine all activities for consumer customers in one division, so Verdo Produktion A/S (the company responsible for Randers CHP plant) was integrated with Verdo Varme A/S and Verdo Vand A/S. EL-NET Kongerslev was also moved into Energi & Forsyning on 1 January 2023.

This was a vital step towards ensuring transparency and openness in our regulated companies, while promoting more collaboration across the utilities division.

Verdo also faces the complex task of defining the future heating supply in Randers and Herning over the next few years, and the new organisational structure aims to better support internal knowledge sharing between our district heating production and distribution.

To head up this work, Jesper Møller Larsen was appointed as director of the Energi & Forsyning division on 1 January 2023, with responsibility for around 110 employees, including three managers who report directly to him.

The Elsalg (electricity sales) commercial business area and Verdo’s customer centre were separated from the regulatory business and given their own area – Sales and Customer Centre – with a strong customer focus, through good customer service and the development of new products and green power and charging station solutions.

The new organisation has already proven its worth with a newly developed concept for charging solutions, new green power offerings and much improved customer satisfaction.

Jesper Møller Larsen has worked with business operations and development and projects in the energy and utility sector for more than 20 years.

Improved internal structure in the Trading division

A new director was appointed for Verdo’s Trading division in 2022. Peter Lønbro Lehm took up this position in May 2022, and together with the rest of the management team in Trading, has created an improved internal structure.

Under the new structure, Trading is divided into three business strands: BIO, CARBON and OPERATIONS.

This helps ensure stronger cohesion between the Verdo Trading and Carbon Partners companies, and as both operate internationally, the new organisation also enables optimisation of processes across companies and countries.

New organisation supports cross-cutting workflows and simpler processes

Verdo Teknik A/S operates primarily in the public procurement market, where being able to put together the right bids, ensure good project execution and manage pricing in operations, maintenance and projects is vital in order to run a profitable business.

To support development of this area, we therefore combined Gadelys and Trafik in the Teknisk Infrastruktur department in 2022. The new organisation will ensure more cross-cutting workflows, digital support and continuous optimisation of workflows and processes.
