Natural gas

Natural fluctuations in energy consumption and volatile prices present market participants with major challenges. Axpo offers a wide range of products and services that can be tailored to meet your energy needs. Our customers also benefit from Axpo's proven experience in energy trading, risk management and market analysis, as well as our growing international presence. Your consumption behaviour, willingness to take risks in terms of price and quantity, even the time available to devote to your project, all influence the choice of procurement model. Axpo customers benefit from our comprehensive portfolio, which offers both standard products and tailored energy solutions.

PPAs

Axpo is at the forefront of the international power purchase agreement (PPA) business, offering tailored on and off-site solutions for green electricity procurement that meet the specific requirements of our customers. As the demand for 100% renewable energy increases, industrial customers are increasingly adopting this standard way of financing. Long-term PPAs have emerged as a crucial tool to support the energy transition in the renewable energy sector. Following the reduction or elimination of state subsidies and sharply falling production costs for new green power plants, renewable energy PPAs have become a major trend in many parts of Europe. They enable the development of new green electricity generation without relying on subsidies, help power the energy transition and support the fight against climate change.

Renewable energies

Axpo offers a comprehensive range of green electricity products from different renewable energy sources. With our diverse portfolio of technologies, including hydropower, biomass, wind, and solar, Axpo offers a range of regional and individual renewable energy solutions to energy suppliers, including the provision of certificates of origin and quality labels. With the direct marketing of renewable energies, Axpo provides additional revenue, long-term investment security, and freedom from administrative and operational costs.

Market access

Axpo customers gain access to every power exchange and can trade across various maturity periods, both physical and financial, for structured options, standard products and OTC transactions. Whether an upstream producer or participant in the mid- to downstream energy sector, customers benefit from our strong presence across all major European power markets. Over the years we have acquired significant physical and financial risk management and trading expertise. Customers and counterparties regularly acknowledge the quality of our services in the Energy Risk Commodity Rankings.

Guarantees of origin

Organisations wishing to add environmental value to their electricity purchases can benefit from our comprehensive range of guarantees of origin (GOs) and green electricity products. These cover various technologies, energy sources and labels and are all compliant with current legislation and the international European Energy Certificate System (EECS) standard. Customers can choose GOs from Axpo’s large portfolio of hydropower plants in the Swiss Alps and rivers or from solar, wind, biomass and nuclear energy facilities in Switzerland and Europe.
