Energiapro

What Energiapro does

Energiapro SA is a privately held Swiss energy supplier headquartered in Vevey, founded in August 2016 by the Holdinova group and operational since April 1, 2017. It commercializes natural gas, Swiss-produced biogas, solar photovoltaic solutions, district heating, microgrid systems, and CNG/biogas mobility fuels to residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers across 152 communes in the cantons of Vaud, Valais, and Fribourg. The company was created specifically to take over the energy sales activities of three historic Holdinova entities (CICG, SGPR, Cosvegaz), which continue to operate the physical gas distribution network under the Holdinova umbrella.

The core technology stack rests on the Holdinova gas distribution network, communicating smart meters (Compteur communicant) that stream consumption data to the customer portal, and five Holdinova biogas production sites in Suisse romande that supply certified renewable biomethane. Solar offerings are delivered through sister companies Agena and NovoEnergies, including a contracting model in which Energiapro finances, installs, and operates rooftop PV in exchange for roof usage rights. Supporting products include an online tariff simulator, a self-serve client portal, renewable energy certificates (one-year validity), and control/interruptibility services for industrial customers.

Energiapro monetizes primarily through consumption-based, regulated tariffs (Confort, Cuisson, Industry) plus market-priced industrial contracts for sites exceeding 150 Nm3/h, and recurring fees from solar contracting and biogas supply. Distribution is sales-led and territory-bound: direct customer service (free phone line 0800 429 429), online self-service, and an industrial sales force. The company is one of several wholly owned subsidiaries of the diversified Holdinova group, which collectively deliver an integrated building-energy value chain spanning sanitary, heating, ventilation, cogeneration, solar, and general contracting services.
