Wind power

BKW currently operates over 40 wind farms in Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, and Norway in collaboration with its network of companies and partners throughout Europe. With an installed capacity of over 800 megawatts (MW), these facilities generate around 1 terawatt hour (TWh) of electricity per annum, and power around 222,000 domestic consumers.
BKW has been operating in the wind power production sector since 1992 and can boast first-class professional and technical skills and offer a wide range of wind power related services thanks to our comprehensive expertise.
Our industrial DNA enables us to unite the entire value chain in-house:
- Technical and commercial management of wind farms and solar parks
- Maintenance (operation & maintenance)
- Energy trading and distribution
BKW makes sustainable investments in modern hydroelectric power stations as well as wind farms and solar parks
Our strategy going forward is to further expand our portfolio of facilities and services in the relevant markets with a view to becoming a leading European provider in the renewable energy sector. By investing in sustainable energy infrastructure, we are making a further contribution to a decarbonised future.
