Power on a massive scale

Kraftwerke Oberhasli AG (KWO) has 8 reservoirs and 13 hydroelectric power stations that produce energy from the power of water.

A small but mighty hydroelectric power station

Chalet-Hotel Schwarzwaldalp has been powered by the hotel’s own hydroelectric power station for over 100 years.

Generating energy from wood

Holzwärme Grindelwald supplies more than 50 hotels, public buildings and private households with thermal energy using carbon-neutral district heating generated from local woodchips.

Roof-mounted photovoltaic system

As part of the construction of the new Grindelwald-Männlichen gondola cableway, a photovoltaic system was installed on the roof of the Männlichen mountain station to produce electricity.
