Energy Services Visp-West Raron

What Energy Services Visp-West Raron does

Energy Services Visp-West Raron AG (EVWR) is a Swiss regional electricity utility headquartered in Visp, Canton of Valais. The company operates and maintains the medium-voltage electricity distribution network serving the districts of Visp and Westlich Raron, with statutory responsibility for grid infrastructure in this defined service territory. EVWR is structured as a Swiss stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) with 26 shareholders — primarily municipalities and local entities — and a 9-member Board of Directors presided over by Michel Schwery.

EVWR's product and service portfolio combines grid network operation and maintenance with retail electricity supply under three branded products: naturenergie (renewable energy), naturenergie solar (solar-generated electricity), and Blauer Strom (standard electricity offering). Supplementary offerings include the ordoplus energy management solution and the Plug and Play ready-to-use energy package. The company also performs electrical inspections (Elektrokontrollen) for residential, commercial, and industrial installations, and provides 24/7 emergency response (Pikettdienst). A new digital customer portal launched in January 2026 enables self-service account management, billing, and consumption tracking, paired with a Smart Metering infrastructure rollout and separate itemization of metering fees on invoices.

Operationally, EVWR is a lean organization of approximately 30 employees and delegates day-to-day operational and business management to enalpin AG, a separate Visp-based energy company whose executives lead EVWR's management board. This shared-services model allows EVWR to leverage enalpin's scale for network operations, finance, and energy solutions while maintaining its independent municipal-shareholder governance. Revenue is generated through recurring tariffs on electricity supply, network operation and maintenance fees, electrical inspection professional services, and grid infrastructure support to other energy supply companies in the region.
