About

Founded in 2020, Thurgie is a co-op headquartered in Sirnach, Switzerland specializing in Solar.

Thurgie is a collaborative energy platform founded by five regional electricity providers (EW Aadorf, Technische Werke Eschlikon, Genossenschaft EW Münchwilen, EW Sirnach AG, and Technische Betriebe Wängi) to bundle expertise and strengthen marketing in sustainable energy. The organization enables residents without suitable roof space to invest in solar energy through shared ownership of photovoltaic installations. Members purchase panels per square meter (maximum CHF 250/m²) and receive 125 kWh of solar electricity annually at CHF 0.10/kWh for up to 20 years. The first installation was completed in May 2020 on the Aadorf riding hall roof with 72 co-owners. Additional facilities were built in Eschlikon and Sirnach, operational by end of 2020. Services also include energy consulting and support for residential energy efficiency improvements.
