p+p project solutions SA is a privately held Swiss engineering and consulting firm headquartered in Yverdon-les-Bains, Canton de Vaud, founded in 2008. The company delivers three integrated service lines to industrial, commercial, and public-sector clients across Suisse Romande: (1) industrial project management covering feasibility studies, detailed engineering, construction supervision, and commissioning; (2) industrial energy efficiency services including comprehensive energy audits (PEIK, ACT, cantonal protocols), compressed air and cooling optimization, renewable integration, and subsidy procurement from federal, cantonal, and communal programs; and (3) technical property management for commercial buildings at the Y-PARC site in Yverdon-les-Bains.

The firm operates as a partner-embedded delivery layer for Swiss energy utilities and regulators. It is accredited under the SuisseEnergie PEIK platform, the ACT framework (Swiss Federal Office of Energy), and Canton Vaud, and holds mandated program management roles with ESB (Energie Service Biel/Bienne), SIG (Genève), Romande Energie, and Yverdon-les-Bains Energies. Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services engagements (CHF 10,000-50,000 for feasibility studies, CHF 100,000+ for full project mandates), utility-funded managed services programs (Eco-PME, ECO-21, ESB energy efficiency program), and productized training delivered with sanu (CHF 3,500 per participant for the 'Partenaire énergétique pour PME' certification).

The client base is anchored by long-tenured enterprise relationships with Nestlé Suisse (since 2010), Nespresso (since 2008), CFF (Swiss Federal Railways), BTG, SIG, Romande Energie, and Petrostock, alongside a broader portfolio of 50+ large energy consumers (Grands Consommateurs), SME clients served through the Eco-PME program, and property management mandates. The company employs approximately 17 people, including ETHZ-trained engineers and certified energy advisors, and pursues partnerships and thought leadership in Swiss sustainability frameworks including Swiss Triple Impact.
