Hydro Energy


Electricity generated from hydro power is the most environmentally compatible way of producing electricity in large power plants. Axpo AG is the biggest producer of electricity from hydro power plants in Switzerland. The installations and participations run by the Hydraulic Energy Division at Axpo AG stretch from Valais and southern Switzerland across the entire north-east of the country.

Axpo Hydraulic Energy is synonymous with cost-efficient, ecologically sound energy production, thereby making a positive contribution towards quality of life and well-being.
