Københavns Belysningsvæsen was a municipally owned company which supplied Copenhagen Tårnby and Dragør municipalities with first gas and later electricity and distant heating, It existed until 2001 when it was merged with Københavns Vand under the name Københavns Energi, a name it had already operated under since 1999. Its former headquarters is located on Gothersgade in central Copenhagen and now houses Københavns VUC, a school of secondary education. Copenhagen's first gas works, Vestre Gasværk, opened in 1857 roughly where the Meat-Packing District lies today. It was followed by Østre Gasværk in 1878. Initially known as Københavns Gasværker (en. Gasworks of Copenhagen) the company changed its name to Københavns Belysningsvæsen in 1891. Gothergade Power Station, Copenhagen's as well as Denmark's first electricity plant, opened the following year at Gothersgade. Vestre Elbærk opened in 1898, Østre Elbærg in 1903 and H. C.
