Power generator continues to invest in flexible energy production
Alpiq achieved an adjusted operating result of CHF 572 million in 2025. In the previous year, the figure was CHF 962 million. The unplanned outage at the Gösgen nuclear power plant had a negative impact of CHF 149 million on the electricity producer's results. Net income halved to CHF 310 million.
According to a statement,Alpiq achieved net sales of CHF 5,920 million in 2025. In the previous year, this figure was CHF 6,366 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation amounted to CHF 572 million, CHF 310 million less than in the previous year.
The Lausanne-based electricity producer attributes the significant decline primarily to the unplanned outage of the Gösgen nuclear power plant, in which it holds a 40 per cent stake. The nuclear power plant has been off the grid since May 2025 due to the modernisation of its water supply system. Energy trading generated a negative result of CHF 35 million in 2025. In the previous year, it had achieved a positive result of CHF 30.1 million.
Alpiq’s financial position is strong, with an equity ratio of 61 per cent. The company is therefore focusing on further investments in its growth areas and is paying a dividend of CHF 230 million.
“We are positioning Alpiq for the future: our strategy is focused on flexibility, modernising power plants and customer-oriented energy solutions,” CEO Antje Kanngiesser is quoted as saying in the press release. “This will consolidate our contribution to the future of energy in Europe.”
