History of BKW
Since its beginnings in 1898, BKW has been at the forefront of cutting-edge developments and the needs of society. The company began life as an energy producer, building power plants that provided energy for the industrial revolution and for the growing society of the 20th century.
For over 100 years, BKW successfully operated as a traditional energy supplier.
In recent years, the company has realigned its strategy with the social megatrends of climate change, urbanisation and digitalisation. With a growth strategy and stronger focus on buildings and infrastructure, the BKW network is designing solutions for a future worth living.
