FRANKFURT, Dec 11 (Reuters) - German regional utility MVV Energie MVVGn.DE reported a 15% drop in annual profits on Thurday but proposed a 4% dividend increase for its 2025 fiscal year ended in September.
MVV, based in Mannheim where the city owns a 50.1% stake in the company, said it planned to raise its dividend to 1.30 euros ($1.51) per share for 2025 from 1.25 euros the previous year.
MVV has long held certified targets to transition to low-carbon heat as well as electricity-, waste- and biomass-based energy products for industry and household customers, ahead of some bigger sector peers.
