Energia Alpina

What Energia Alpina does

Energia Alpina is a privately-held regional energy utility headquartered in Sedrun, Switzerland, operating in the Tujetsch municipality. Founded in 1918 (per company material) with a current headcount of 30 employees, the company supplies 100% renewable electricity to approximately 2,300 customer households and serves local SMEs and industrial customers with medium-voltage connections. Its business spans four integrated areas: electricity supply, energy production from owned assets, an anergy-based district heating/cooling network, and electrical installation services.

The company's technical base combines multiple hydroelectric plants (Val Giuv at 5.8 GWh/year since 1978, Val Strem at 8 GWh/year since 2009, plus drinking-water plants Val Mila and Prau Cumin), photovoltaic installations across municipal buildings, and the Anergienetz Sedrun — a cold district heating network using 75 ground probes (250m depth) feeding low-temperature water to connected buildings via heat pumps, with reverse-cycle passive cooling. Distribution infrastructure includes 32 transformer stations, ~44.9 km of medium-voltage cable, and ~66.4 km of low-voltage cable. The flagship Sedrun Solar project, billed as Switzerland's first alpine large-scale PV plant, targets 19.3 MWp capacity and ~29 GWh/year for end-2028 commissioning.

Revenue derives from tariffed electricity supply (basistarif for households/SMEs under 100 MWh, unit tariff for large customers, and industrial medium-voltage rates), network operation, anergy network connection/base/consumption fees, and professional electrical services including a work-platform rental line. Pricing is set annually with downloadable PDFs and an online Strompreisrechner. Distribution is direct to end customers within Tujetsch; the company maintains a physical office, a customer portal, and the Aventura Energia educational center. Disclosed annual revenue is CHF 15 million, generated across electricity supply, network operation, electro-services, and heat supply.

Broad incumbents

• BKW Energie AG: One of Switzerland's largest energy companies headquartered in Bern, with operations across generation (hydro, nuclear, renewables), distribution, and energy services. Comparable as a vertically integrated Swiss utility, though at much larger scale and broader geography.
• Axpo Holding AG: Switzerland's largest producer of renewable energy, with extensive hydroelectric generation, grid operations, and trading activities. Relevant as a broad incumbent Swiss utility with comparable hydro-led renewable portfolio.
• ewb (Energie Wasser Bern): Municipal utility of the city of Bern providing electricity, district heating, and water services. Comparable diversified municipal utility model combining regulated grid, renewable generation, and district heating in a single integrated business.
• Alpiq Holding AG: Major Swiss electricity producer and energy services provider with significant hydroelectric generation assets and digital energy services. Comparable as a broad incumbent Swiss utility serving similar customer types.

Regional players

• Romande Energie Holding SA: Western Swiss regional energy utility serving Vaud and surrounding cantons with renewable generation, distribution, and energy services. Comparable as a vertically integrated regional Swiss utility, though operating in French-speaking Switzerland rather than Graubünden.
• EBL (Elektra Birseck): Regional Swiss energy utility in the Basel region providing electricity, heating networks, and telecommunications services. Comparable as a multi-utility with district heating exposure similar to Energia Alpina's anergy network.
• AEW Energie AG: Regional Swiss energy utility serving customers in Aargau with electricity generation (including hydro and solar) and distribution network operation. Comparable integrated utility model at a slightly larger regional scale.

Direct peers

• Repower AG: Regional Swiss utility headquartered in Poschiavo (Graubünden) operating hydroelectric generation, distribution networks, and energy services across the Grisons region. Most comparable peer in terms of alpine geography, hydro-heavy generation mix, and integrated utility model in rural Switzerland.
• SN Energie AG: Small regional Swiss utility operating local grid, renewable generation, and energy services in the St. Galler Oberland/Rhine valley. Comparable integrated municipal utility model serving a defined geographic territory with similar revenue scale.
• IBC Energie Wasser Chur: Municipal energy and water utility serving the city of Chur (capital of Graubünden). Comparable as a cantonal-level Swiss utility combining electricity, water, and grid operations in the same region where Energia Alpina operates.
