The company was created on 1 April 2016, by splitting the renewable, network and retail businesses of RWE into a separate entity.[2][3] The new entity combined RWE subsidiaries RWE Innogy, RWE Deutschland, RWE Effizienz, RWE Vertrieb and RWE Energiedienstleistungen.[1]

On 7 October 2016, it was listed at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.[2] They serve 23 million customers in Europe. In November 2017, it was announced that Innogy was looking to merge its energy retail subsidiary npower in the United Kingdom, with the equivalent division of rival SSE.[4]

It was planned that Innogy shareholders would own 34% of the demerged entity,[5] however, the deal fell through, and in November 2019, it was announced that npower would ultimately be wound down following the acquisition of Innogy by E.ON, costing over 4500 jobs, in a process expected to take around two years to complete.[6]

In March 2018, it was announced that E.ON will acquire Innogy, in a complex deal of assets swap with RWE.[7] The transfer of shares was completed in September 2019.[8]

eMobility

In December 2016, Innogy combined its electric vehicles related activities into a new subsidiary called eMobility.[9] It operates one of the largest charging points network in Europe, which includes 7,000 charging points in over twenty countries.[9][10] Since September 2008, it operates in cooperation with Daimler AG test project in Berlin called e-mobility Berlin.[11] It also cooperates with an Italian company called Be Charge.[10]

In October 2018, the subsidiary of the United States, innogy eMobility US, announced the acquisition of California based Recargo, an electric mobility software company.[12] Recargo produces the popular PlugShare platform that helps EV drivers find public charging stations.[13]
