As a co-founder of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline, Axpo has long promoted the diversification of Europe’s gas supplies. Through TAP, we have secured long-term gas supply contracts and have commenced discussions for the sale of mid-term volumes of gas to be transported through TAP and onward to Swiss utilities.
For nearly 20 years, we have been actively trading natural gas across Europe. This includes the cross-border transport of natural gas, the trading of LNG – starting more than a decade ago – and the supply of natural gas to customers ranging from SMEs to large energy-intensive industrial companies. In Switzerland, Axpo already delivers around one terrawatt-hour (TWh) of natural gas a year to some of our larger customers.

Axpo is accredited at numerous energy exchanges and broker platforms throughout Europe. We also trade directly with counterparties and across borders in large parts of Europe (cross-border trading). Furthermore, we buy and sell electricity and natural gas, oil and other energy derivatives (cross commodity trading) as well as purely financial products (derivatives such as options, futures and swaps).
Gas supply companies wishing to buy or sell biogas certificates can contact Axpo. In particular, we are able to import biogas certificates thanks to our foreign subsidiaries. If required, these can also be certified with the ‘naturemade star’-quality ecolabel for energy from 100 per cent renewable sources.
