Security is our top priority – when supplying energy and when using data

The BKW supply network forms part of Switzerland’s critical infrastructure. We supply over a million people with reliable electricity and operate a diverse portfolio of power plants. Our failure rate is consistently low, with very few power cuts compared with Switzerland as a whole.

One key figure for reliable electricity production is availability, as it allows a qualitative and quantitative insight into maintenance and investment. Our larger run-of-river power plants generally achieve availability of over 97%. The maximum security standards that we uphold in our power plants don’t stop at operations – they apply to dismantling as well. For the decommissioned Mühleberg Nuclear Power Plant, we are leading the way for this kind of work in Switzerland.
