    Services burden BKW’s result

    According to a press release, BKW achieved the second-best financial year in its history in 2023. With revenue of CHF 4,598 million, the Bern-based energy supplier achieved earnings before interest and taxes of CHF 620 million and a net profit of CHF 488 million. Sales are thus 12 per cent below the record year 2022, but 29 per cent above 2021. The result and profit were similar: net profit in 2023 was 40 per cent below that of 2022 and 76 per cent above that of 2021.

    The result is primarily driven by the Energy business division. According to the annual report, this contributed a total of CHF 535 million to the result with a total operating performance of CHF 2,953 million, a decrease of 24 per cent in output and 40 per cent in profit. Investments in the Energy business division rose from CHF 147 million to CHF 276 million.

    With a total output of CHF 540 million, the grids delivered a result of CHF 147 million, an increase of 5 per cent in output and 0.6 per cent in the result. Investments rose from CHF 113 million in 2022 to CHF 136 million in 2023.

    Sales of services rose by 4 per cent to CHF 1,838 million in 2023. The business division reported a loss of 40 million francs. In the previous year, it had still posted a plus of 53 million francs. The result was burdened by depreciation and impairments totalling 132 million francs. Investments fell from CHF 333 million to CHF 75 million. BKW aims to sustainably increase the profitability of the business area by the end of 2024. It is also examining sales and acquisitions.

  • Siemens sales in Switzerland increase significantly

    Siemens sales in Switzerland increase significantly

    The comprehensive digital product and solution portfolio is the main driver for Siemens’ positive business development in Switzerland. “With our technology, we connect the digital world with the real world,” says Matthias Rebellius, who is responsible for Switzerland on the global Siemens Managing Board. “The new digital business platform Xcelerator enables our customers to massively accelerate their digital transformation. Digital solutions are also the key to an efficient energy supply or to making building and industrial infrastructure more sustainable,” explains Rebellius.

    Gerd Scheller, Country CEO of Siemens Switzerland, is satisfied with the course of business and looks to the future: “With the development of modern digital solutions, many job profiles are changing. Here we are focusing on the training and development of our employees and also investing in the next generation.” In the current fiscal year, Siemens has greatly expanded the so-called “Kids Coding Days”. By the end of the year, around 400 children in Switzerland will have completed such an introduction to the world of programming. “The feedback from pupils and parents on the events already held is very positive,” says Gerd Scheller. Another example is the Siemens Excellence Award, in which the best diploma theses from Swiss universities of applied sciences are awarded an attractive prize.” More than 3,500 people took part in the first-ever public voting. As part of its Generation21 education programme, Siemens is also involved in numerous other support projects in Switzerland, especially to promote women in technical professions.

    Siemens is present in all parts of the country and at over 20 locations and has a strong market position in building technology and energy distribution (Smart Infrastructure) in industry (Digital Industries) as well as in the software business for industrial customers (Siemens Digital Industries Software). Siemens also has a leading market position in Switzerland in railway technology (Siemens Mobility). The independent companies Siemens Energy and Siemens Healthineers are present in Switzerland as leading providers of power generation and medical technology respectively.

    The global activities of Siemens Smart Infrastructure (SI) are managed from the headquarters in Zug. Matthias Rebellius is CEO of this global business with over 72,000 employees. The SI headquarters, which employs around 1700 people, will be completed next autumn. In recent years, the company has invested a total of CHF 250 million in the new Siemens campus, which will be operated in a climate-neutral manner.
