Axpo is working towards the goal of a safe and sustainable electricity supply for Switzerland in the long term. Only a diversified electricity mix will guarantee a sustainable electricity supply. Despite the expansion of new renewable energies, large-scale power plants will always be necessary. They are essential for meeting Switzerland's electricity needs over the long term. Large-scale technologies include hydroelectric, coal-fired, gas-fired and nuclear power plants.

Since 2006, Axpo has already invested about CHF 500 million in new renewable energies. Total investments of CHF 3 billion are planned in the period to 2030, with the focus on small-scale hydroelectric power, biogas/biomass and research into geothermal energy. Axpo aims to expand its role as market leader in new energies in Switzerland.

In the area of peak load energy, Axpo is investing more than CHF 2 billion together with the canton of Glarus in the construction of the new Linth-Limmern pumped storage power plant in Glarus (Project Linthal 2015).

Furthermore, Axpo is planning investments of CHF 1 billion in the expansion of the grid as part of the strategy to ensure security of supply.
