Operating in the key markets of the future

With its roadmap for growth, BKW is assuming responsibility in tackling the energy and climate crisis. In the years to come, massive investments will be made in renewable energies in Switzerland and Europe. The production and consumption of energy are becoming even more closely intertwined. Photovoltaic systems on rooftops are providing power for heat pumps and electric vehicles. At the same time, energy needs are growing because heat and transport are becoming more and more electrified. The Energy business needs to be considered in an integrated manner, with renewable production, smart distribution grids, efficient trading and sales, and digitally transformed customer solutions.

The latest technologies and automatic controls increase the quality of buildings and reduce their energy consumption. The heating sector alone accounts for around 50 percent of energy consumption in Switzerland today and is the source of more than 35 percent of carbon emissions. The buildings of the future are intelligent and energy efficient, and function as small power plants. They use renewable energy instead of fossil fuels, thus making a significant contribution to climate protection. Whether new construction, conversion, or refurbishment is involved, IT is a key technology of our economy, especially when it comes to resource-efficient buildings. With its broad expertise, BKW is a competent partner that supports its customers from the drafting of a concept to automation of processes through to implementation and ongoing support.

Modern and properly functioning infrastructure is of central importance for the sustainable development of society and the economy. It ensures water and energy supplies as well as secure transport and communication networks to homes, neighborhoods, cities, industrial facilities, and public buildings such as train stations and airports. In the construction of grids and plants, BKW provides support to customers in the energy, transport, telecommunications, and water sectors. The company’s services are supplemented by environmentally friendly lighting solutions. With its interdisciplinary team of experts, the BKW Group makes available to its customers a unique pool of knowledge for planning and implementing construction projects in the public realm.
