The energy sector remains stable despite structural change
Primeo Energie reported turnover of 1.8 billion Swiss francs in 2025, down from 2.3 billion the previous year. Profit rose from 91 million to 109 million Swiss francs. This was partly due to the divestment of wind farms in Norway and the Swiss electric vehicle division.
According to a press release, Primeo Energie AG achieved a generally positive result in 2025. The Basel-Landschaft-based energy supplier, headquartered in Münchenstein, generated turnover of 1.8 billion Swiss francs. This is 392 million less than in the previous year. Profit rose from 91 million to 109 million Swiss francs.
The Energy Solutions division made a significant contribution to this profit growth. In France, Primeo Energie acquired 120,000 new private customers. The Swiss electricity business returned to a slight profit for the first time in years.
In the Grid and Services division, Primeo Energie is feeling the impact of the decline in electricity consumption in industry and private households, as well as the rise in decentralised self-generation. Consequently, less electricity was transmitted.
The Heating and Industrial Solutions division was expanded with new and extended district heating networks, for example in the Lower Wiggertal, Muttenz, Aesch and the Birstal. However, the mild weather put pressure on sales.
The Production division remained stable thanks to diversification into hydro, solar and wind power and its presence across six countries.
In 2025, Primeo Energie divested itself of activities lacking critical mass or with low profitability. These included wind farms in Norway and the electric mobility division in Switzerland.
In the current year, the company intends to expand its electricity business in Switzerland and its activities abroad.
