Sunrise is relying on renewable energies and has secured the certification for climate-friendly energy production
Axpo supplies the company with certified electricity from Swiss hydropower plants at a fixed price set down in the agreement. This applies to all Sunrise locations on the open market that have a power consumption of over 100 MWh per year.
Locations with lower consumption that cannot benefit from the open market, or obtain green electricity from their energy supplier, will receive the respective guarantee of origin for power from European hydropower plants from Axpo. With the contract, Sunrise is relying solely on renewable energies and has secured the certification for climate-friendly energy production from hydropower.
Green due to Axpo
With the conclusion of this full supply contract, the telecommunications company is not only focusing on sustainability and green electricity. It has also obtained the best possible planning security for its power costs with consumption-adapted full supply from Axpo.
Laurent Nanzer, Head Origination Switzerland at Axpo, comments, "We are pleased that we have acquired a new customer with Sunrise and can supply the company with guarantees of origin and electricity as needed to support the achievement of its sustainability goals."

Elmar Grasser, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Sunrise, adds, "The Axpo offer was very convincing. The price, as well as service and processing, and decades of experience in the operation of hydropower plants make Axpo the ideal power supply partner for us."
Axpo continues to systematically develop the business with full supply contracts and power procurement agreements (PPA) in Switzerland and over 30 markets in Europe and the USA.
