Ewl

About

Founded in 1920, Ewl is a co-op headquartered in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland specializing in Hydro, Solar.

Ewl Genossenschaft is a regional energy cooperative established over 100 years ago, primarily serving the Lauterbrunnental valley in Switzerland. The cooperative supplies all customers with electricity from 100% renewable sources, with significant generation from its own hydropower plants, particularly the Stechelberg facility. In recent years, Ewl has transitioned its business focus toward energy services, emphasizing photovoltaic installations, collective self-consumption arrangements (ZEV), energy optimization, and consulting. The company manages electricity distribution networks across multiple villages and is invested in future hydropower development through partnerships, including the Sousbach hydropower plant expected to commence operations in 2025. Ewl operates as a cooperative structure aligned with regional principles and community engagement.
