According to information reported last December by Swiss radio and television (SRF), Swiss energy suppliers prefer to invest abroad. Indeed, Swiss companies have for several years been spending billions of francs on renewable energies. Wind farms, solar energy… hundreds of installations belong to Swiss companies. Axpo and BKW are the largest Swiss investors abroad, but for more than a decade we have been seeing the emergence of numerous Swiss companies.
Whether for hydropower produced in Norway or photovoltaics deployed in southern countries such as Italy or Spain, Swiss energy suppliers intend to further expand their international presence. According to SRF, the cost of these investments abroad could reach 7 billion francs.
