What energiewende does

energiewende gmbh is a privately held, sole-practitioner solar planning and energy consulting firm founded in 2022 by Andreas Leuppi and headquartered in Baden, Switzerland. The company operates two core service lines: PV-Fachplanung (photovoltaic system planning) spanning feasibility studies, cost estimation, technical specialist planning, tendering/quotation management, and construction supervision; and Energieberatung (energy consulting) covering GEAK/GEAK Plus building energy certification, heating replacement assessments, insulation analysis, STWEG (condominium) consultations, planning consultation, and energy certificate preparation. The firm's core differentiator is its independence — it acts as a neutral, manufacturer-affiliate-free expert representing client interests against installers and coordinating all contractors through a single point of contact.

The business model is professional services on a custom quote-based, pay-as-you-go per-project basis. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct client outreach (phone, email, WhatsApp, in-person at the Baden office), supplemented by referral relationships through energieberatungAARGAU (official cantonal consulting partner) and network visibility via Swissolar membership and the Muri Energie Forum leadership role. Customers span property owners, manufacturing and processing businesses, municipalities, condominium associations (STWEG), and wastewater treatment plants throughout the regional Aargau market. The company maintains a paperless office with no external institutional investment, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no funding rounds to date.

The underlying technology stack is fundamentally human-expertise-driven: GEAK/GEAK Plus standardized Swiss building energy certification methodology, feasibility analysis frameworks, and tendering management. No proprietary software, no AI/ML capabilities, no digital platform, and no API are present. Growth is constrained by single-operator capacity, with the portfolio of documented projects ranging from small 4 kWp facade installations to large 606 kWp industrial engagements.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Amstein+Walthert: Large Swiss building services and energy engineering consultancy with a practice covering GEAK-equivalent energy assessments, PV planning, and STWEG advisory work. Comparable to energiewende in service scope but operates across all of Switzerland with hundreds of specialists as part of a much broader engineering portfolio.
• Ernst Basler + Partner (EBP): Swiss engineering and management consultancy with deep energy and climate practice, including building energy performance, sustainability advisory, and renewable energy planning. Overlaps with energiewende on energy consulting and PV feasibility but serves clients nationally and at much larger scale.
• Helbling Group: Swiss engineering consultancy with energy and building services capabilities covering energy efficiency, building envelope, and renewable energy planning. Overlaps with energiewende's Energieberatung line but operates as a multi-disciplinary engineering firm serving industrial and real estate clients across Switzerland.
• Eicher+Pauli:
• TRITEC AG: Established Swiss PV installer and planner offering end-to-end solar solutions including feasibility, planning, and installation. Comparable to energiewende at the planning stage but as a vertically integrated installer, putting it simultaneously in competition and as a likely tendering partner.
• Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich (EKZ): Major Swiss utility offering solar PV consulting, planning, and installation services to residential and business customers across the Zurich region. Adjacent to energiewende through PV advisory but as part of a multi-utility portfolio with much greater geographic reach.

Direct peers

• Energie Zukunft Schweiz: Swiss non-profit energy consultancy that advises municipalities, businesses, and property owners on solar PV, building energy efficiency, and Energiewende-related topics. Direct peer to energiewende in offering independent solar planning and energy advisory services in the Swiss market.

Others

• Megasol Energie AG: Swiss high-performance PV module manufacturer and integrated solar provider offering planning, mounting, and installation services. Comparable as a Swiss solar ecosystem participant but operating upstream as a manufacturer rather than a pure independent planning consultancy like energiewende.
• Stiftung myclimate: Swiss climate foundation active in energy transition advisory, building efficiency, and renewable energy awareness. Related to energiewende's energy consulting mission but positioned as a non-profit foundation rather than a fee-based professional services firm.

Regional players

• AEW Energie AG: Cantonal energy utility of Aargau (the same canton where energiewende is headquartered) that offers solar PV planning and installation to local residents and businesses. Direct regional overlap with energiewende in target market and service scope, but as a utility-led offering rather than independent consulting.
