Juvent SA

What Juvent SA does

Juvent SA is a Swiss partnership company that operates Switzerland's largest wind park, located on the Mont-Crosin and Mont-Soleil ridgeline in the Berner Jura region of canton Bern. The asset comprises 16 Vestas wind turbines of mixed vintages and ratings — 8× V90 (2 MW) installed in 2010, 4× V90 (2 MW) from the 2013 repowering, and 4× V112 (3.3 MW) from the 2016 repowering — for a combined installed capacity of 37.2 MW and expected annual production of 70 GWh, equivalent to the consumption of over 15,000 Swiss households. Operations are supported by SCADA monitoring and a proprietary consumer-facing mobile app (iOS and Android) that exposes live per-turbine production data, interactive maps, 48-hour power graphs, and severe-weather notifications; a Roundshot webcam at Mont-Soleil and a self-guided 5.8 km experience trail (Sentier des Monts) complement the digital layer.

The business model is utility asset operation rather than software or services: Juventus sells wholesale renewable electricity into the Swiss national grid, with BKW Energie AG (65% shareholder) acting as the primary offtaker and grid-integrator under a structurally bundled ownership arrangement alongside IWB Renewable Power AG (25%), AEW Energie AG (5%), and Société des Forces Electriques de La Goule SA (5%). The remaining commercial activity is a small public-engagement stream — guided wind-turbine and combined solar/wind tours at fixed per-person pricing, plus annual open-door days co-organized with Espace découverte Energie and regional tourism partners — which is immaterial relative to electricity revenue. The 5-employee headcount is consistent with a lean special-purpose vehicle that delegates operational, media-relations, and back-office functions to its controlling parent BKW.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Espace découverte Energie (EdE)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerEdE (Espace découverte Energie) is a key co-organizer of the annual open days event at Mont-Soleil, partnering with Juventus on public engagement and renewable energy education in the Berner Jura region. Co-organizers also include Tourismus Berner Jura and Sternwarte Mont-Soleil.
• Vestas (turbine supplier)coreTechnology or IntegrationVestas is the turbine manufacturer supplying all wind turbines at the Juventus wind park. The 2013 repowering replaced older turbines with Vestas V90 (2 MW each), and the 2016 repowering introduced Vestas V112 (3.3 MW each) turbines, which became the most powerful turbines in Switzerland.
• BKW Blog / BKW Media RelationsminorGTM or Marketing PartnerBKW operates a corporate blog and media relations team that publishes content about Juventus's activities, including repowering projects and operational milestones.

Scale indicators4 records

Regional players

• AEW Energie AG: Aargau-based regional Swiss utility and 5% Juventus shareholder with renewable generation including wind; comparable as a regional Swiss utility co-invested in Juventus and active in Swiss wind.

Broad incumbents

• Axpo Holding AG: Switzerland's largest producer of renewable energy and a major operator of hydro and wind assets; comparable as a Swiss utility-scale renewable operator with direct exposure to the Energiestrategie 2050 policy environment that also drives Juventus.
• Ørsted A/S: Global leader in offshore wind with significant onshore wind portfolio as well; comparable as a public pure-play-renewables incumbent focused on utility-scale wind farm ownership and operations.
• BKW Energie AG: Juventus's 65% controlling shareholder and primary off-taker; BKW is Switzerland's largest energy utility with a broad generation portfolio including hydro, nuclear, wind and grid services — overlapping in Swiss renewable generation, but operating at vastly greater scale and scope.
• Vattenfall AB: Large European state-owned utility with substantial onshore wind generation across Sweden, Germany, UK and Netherlands; comparable as an incumbent utility-scale onshore wind owner-operator with similar turbine technologies.
• Alpiq Holding AG: Swiss electricity producer and trader with generation assets across hydro and renewables; comparable as a domestic Swiss IPP that competes for the same grid offtake and policy tailwinds as Juventus.
• RWE Renewables GmbH: European utility with one of the largest onshore wind fleets (~3+ GW) and growing offshore portfolio; comparable as an incumbent utility-scale wind operator with diversified turbine technologies.
• IWB Renewable Power AG: 25% shareholder of Juventus and Basel's municipal utility with renewable energy operations; comparable as a Swiss utility with overlapping renewable generation interests.

Others

• Vestas Wind Systems A/S: Juventus's turbine OEM across all vintages (V44/V47/V52/V66/V90/V112); comparable not as a competitor but as the technology partner whose product roadmap gates Juventus's repowering and capacity-upgrade economics.

Direct peers

• Repower AG: Swiss-listed utility headquartered in Graubünden with wind, hydro, and grid operations including the onshore wind park at Lünersee; one of the closest direct comparables for Swiss utility-scale wind operations.
