Green Energy Venture

What Green Energy Venture does

Green Energy Venture AG is a Swiss renewable energy advisory and services firm headquartered in Lyssach, Canton of Bern, operating across the full project lifecycle from concept to operation. The firm serves municipalities, SMEs, independent power producers (IPPs), project developers, and large industrial zones, providing market intelligence and advisory, technical advisory, project financing structuring, owner's engineering, application and EPC management, energy marketing, and full-cycle project delivery. Across its portfolio the firm reports 13,000 MW engineered and financed, €9 billion in realized renewable infrastructure, and active strategic partnerships in 17 countries.

The underlying technology combines utility-scale photovoltaic systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), wind, hydro, biomass, hydrogen, and thermal assets under a proprietary "Total Hybrid" concept, supplemented by specialized offerings in AgriVoltaics, Alpine Solar, sector coupling, and Local Energy Communities (LEG). The firm does not disclose proprietary software or AI-driven optimization models; "smart measurement and control systems" are referenced for household-level energy optimization. Service delivery is supported by a global partner network of more than 50 project developers, EPC contractors, and financial institutions, and is enabled by a vertically integrated structure under the oe.energy roof brand that includes Bloomberg Tier 1 solar PV module production, O&M operations through Re-Tec across five European countries, and dedicated entities for community wind (Windenergie Schweiz AG), C&I solar (Swiss Renewable Solutions), AgriPV (RSM Energy), and Alpine Solar (SolSarine AG).

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees across advisory, engineering, and financing mandates, supplemented by transaction fees from PPA origination (250 GWh/y marketed in 2023 with 100+ offtakers and IPPs contacted) and managed services from O&M activities. Pricing is contractual, with disclosed hourly rates of CHF 125 for travel time and premium multipliers of 150% for Saturday work and 200% for night/Sunday work. The go-to-market is enterprise-led through direct sales, supported by content marketing, LinkedIn presence under the oe.energy group, and a citizen equity model that enables community participation in Swiss wind and solar projects. The company is privately held and family-owned under founder and CEO Daniel A. Oechslin, with no disclosed external funding rounds or institutional investors.
