Secure networks and reliable electricity production
The BKW supply network forms part of Switzerland’s critical infrastructure. We supply over a million people with reliable electricity and operate a diverse portfolio of power plants. Our failure rate is consistently low, with very few power cuts compared with Switzerland as a whole.
One key figure for reliable electricity production is availability, as it allows a qualitative and quantitative insight into maintenance and investment. Our larger run-of-river power plants generally achieve availability of over 97%. The maximum security standards that we uphold in our power plants don’t stop at operations – they apply to dismantling as well. For the decommissioned Mühleberg Nuclear Power Plant, we are leading the way for this kind of work in Switzerland.
Cyber security, data governance and data protection
The digital transformation offers us numerous opportunities for improving the efficiency and quality of our infrastructures, products and services. But greater interconnectivity brings heightened risks in the areas of cyber security, privacy and data protection.
Meanwhile, large volumes of sensitive data are accruing in every business area. To counter these risks, we have implemented an ambitious cyber security strategy and established Group-wide data governance. The security of personal data related to our customers, business partners and employees is a top priority.
