Strategy

Progress built on experience

Repower sells energy and related services to utilities, commercial and industrial customers, public institutions and end-consumers. Its key markets are Switzerland and Italy. From Switzerland we also serve customers in Germany. Our business is rooted in a wealth of know-how, built over more than 100 years, in generating electricity, building and operating power plants and grids, and trading in energy. Hydropower is a particularly important pillar of our business: Repower has been developing, building and operating hydropower plants since the very beginning, and continues to do so to this day.

“Repower’s strategy is systematically geared to sales and services based on over 100 years of experience in generating and trading electricity.”

Areas of strategic focus

Partnerships in sales

Repower’s business focuses on providing energy-related services, predominantly to energy utilities, industrial and commercial customers and public institutions. Our goal is to help our customers achieve greater energy efficiency and convenience. We deliberately strive for partnerships with our customers. Our ability to develop innovative products and harness synergy make collaboration with Repower especially attractive.

Basic supply in Switzerland

Repower supplies electricity to more than 50,000 household, commercial and large-scale consumers in Southeast Switzerland. Acquapower, our standard product for basic supply customers, is 100% hydropower from Switzerland. Our range also includes interesting green power products. Repower offers products tailored to the needs of large customers and resellers as well. Repower is also involved in the electric vehicle business and meeting the needs of private power producers.

End-consumers in Italy

Thanks to its customer focus, Repower has made a name for itself as a service provider in the highly competitive Italian market. We provide large and medium-sized customers in tourism, commerce, industry and the public sector with electricity, gas and related services. Our product development is geared to creating offerings that add real value for customers, especially in terms of boosting energy efficiency. A large network of expert consultants covering the whole of Italy serves as a link between Repower and its customers.

Over 100 years of experience in service delivery

Repower’s customer-facing activities are backed by solid internal service delivery based on a comprehensive wealth of experience. For more than 100 years Repower has been operating power plants and grids, developing projects and trading electricity. It strives to refine and extend this know-how on a permanent basis. This enables Repower to recognise the complex challenges the future of energy will bring and share these insights with its customers.

Core competency in hydropower

In Canton Graubünden Repower operates 17 hydropower plants of different sizes. The story started around 100 years ago in the Valposchiavo with the construction of what at the time was the largest high-pressure hydropower installation in Europe. The commissioning of the new Morteratsch hydropower plant in 2016 marks the most recent chapter. Plans developed by Repower to build a new hydropower plant in the Prättigau (Chlus) and a major pumped storage plant in the the Valposchiavo (Lagobianco) could give a decisive boost to the future of the energy industry. Repower, which also runs wind farms in Germany in Italy, is in the process of moving its generation portfolio over to 100% renewables.

Services for third parties

Repower plans, builds and operates power plants and grids, and is involved in project development. We optimise our own assets and have experience in balance group and portfolio management. We operate in international electricity trading and have the necessary market access. And we’re well acquainted with the rapidly changing legal and regulatory environment. Our expertise in these and other areas doesn’t just work to our benefit − we make sure our customers profit as well by managing projects on their behalf and taking on work that many utilities and other partners prefer not to do themselves.
