New dynamics for self-consumption communities
Primo Energie is taking over the services for self-consumption mergers (ZEV) from the energy suppliers Energie Wasser Bern, Regio Energie Solothurn and AGROLA. The Basel-based energy company is thus expanding its nationwide network to 20,000 ZEV metering points.
Primeo Energie is expanding its business for energy communities. The Basel-based energy company will take over the billing services for self-consumption associations (ZEV) from Energie Wasser Bern(ewb), Regio Energie Solothurn(RES) and AGROLA from the beginning of 2026, Primeo Energie announced in a press release. The three energy suppliers will continue to provide their customers with ZEV services, but will have these carried out by Prime Energie.
“We believe in energy communities as an important element of the energy transformation,” said Primeo Energie CEO Cédric Christmann in the press release. “I am therefore all the more pleased that ewb, RES and AGROLA have placed their trust in us and transferred their ZEV services to us.” The takeover expands Primeo Energie’s Swiss-wide network to over 20,000 ZEV measuring points. The company’s growth strategy in the area of energy communities is intended to strengthen Primeo Energie’s position “as a leading provider of ZEV services”, according to the press release.
