Since its foundation, Energie Zukunft Schweiz has been committed to the rapid implementation of the energy transition. The company specialises in renewable energies and energy efficiency. in 2022, its Italian subsidiary sold a 375 MWp photovoltaic project pipeline to one of Europe’s largest energy suppliers. “The energy transition is a global project, so it was always clear that we wanted to take our energy transition know-how beyond our Swiss borders and into other countries,” says Managing Director Aeneas Wanner.
In order to make better use of synergies between the national companies and to take better account of internationalisation, the companies are now reorganising as an internationally active group with headquarters in Switzerland under a common name. In line with the dawning era of renewables, the group of companies will be called “Renera”. The energy trading and biogas division is the first to change. For employees and customers, the reorganisation has positive consequences, says Aeneas Wanner: “All services will be continued and expanded in the usual quality. Due to the high demand, we will continue to create many new jobs and maintain all existing ones. “
A single strong corporate brand for all operations in Europe will be built and maintained. The new brand strategy is intended to bring employees closer together, reduce complexity for customers and create synergies between national companies and business units. To support the positioning visually, a new logo and corporate design were developed in cooperation with a Spanish branding agency.
Aeneas Wanner explains why the company is growing so successfully: “Our recipe for success is our talented and committed employees. Thanks to them, projects become reality that are profitable for clients and the environment at the same time.” The company is known for its hands-on mentality, and its employees describe themselves as “energy turnaround makers”. “Companies from the energy and real estate sectors appreciate our holistic approach and our diverse know-how. We can not only think up and plan complex energy projects, we can also accompany their implementation and subsequently monitor the results.” Aeneas Wanner is also very optimistic about the future. The demand for energy efficiency and renewable energies is enormous right now. The desire for clean, reliable energy and high energy prices have contributed to this. “We have now grown from 40 to 200 employees in just under four years, and we will probably create another 500 jobs in the next four years.” This is the only way the company can realise its vision of being a leading force on the path to a fully renewable energy world.
