More than "just" an energy supplier? Admittedly, that sounds like a marketing slogan. But here it is true. We produce electricity and heat. In addition, we reliably supply the Basel region with drinking water, internet, and mobility. In Switzerland, we are the first address for renewable energy. This breadth makes your working world wonderfully colorful. And because we are entering new territory with forward-looking projects, it has probably never been as exciting as it is now to work with us.
