To 8. May 1884 was created the Bewag as urban works (A.G.StEW) of the German Edison society. Already on 12 August the AGStEW occurred the Konzessionsvertrag of the city Berlin and took over thereby the task of the current supply for Berlin. With the center in the Mark count road 44 (gendarme market) the first public power station of Germany developed.

On 1 October 1887 the AEG took over the administration of the A.G.StEW, which were called since then citizens of Berlin of works (BEW). On 1 October 1915 then municipal authorities of Berlin took over the BEW plants and large parts of the coworkers and designated the enterprise of urban power stations Berlin (StEW). The BEW and its participation remained. The BEW became getting thing and firmierte since then as bank of electrical values. Finally the again created operating company under private law citizen of Berlin took over urban power stations act on 24 November 1923. - Total one (BEWAG) the enterprise of the plants of the StEW of the city Berlin in the context of a lease. The city remained owner of the plants.

On 1 January 1934 the citizens of Berlin force and light corporation (BKL) became and the BEWAG fuses. The fortune of the BEWAG turned into thereby on the BKL. After the Veschmelzung was called the enterprise citizen of Berlin strength and light (Bewag) - corporation.
