Could I simply translate this as "Utility Industry"? Thanks for your help! :-)

versatile companies

In your context (Fernwärme, Gas, Strom oder Wasser) the answer is yes

but the term you have posted actually refers to ‘versatile companies’ which do not necessarily have to be 'utilities'

Sorry for the obscure reference. This concerned ‘gewinnbringend ergänzen’ http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1312703 . Maybe I should have used the reliable ‘s.u.’ device to draw readers’ attention to the rest of the answer.
