We make the best out of waste. Eco-friendly energy for the region!
For over 50 years, the Gemeinschafts-Müll-Verbrennungsanlage Niederrhein (GMVA) has ensured the environmentally friendly treatment of waste and commercial waste that is subject to mandatory disposal. As it converts most of this waste into energy, it is also an important producer of electricity and district heating. Established in 1972 through the conversion of the Concordia Bergbau AG colliery power plant, GMVA is a company with a real Oberhausen tradition. Accordingly, we have close ties to the people and the region.
