New fish pass at the Flumenthal hydropower plant
In 2023, Alpiq will build a completely new fish pass at the Flumenthal hydropower plant. From 2024 onward, it will fulfil the current standards for fish migration in the River Aare. Alpiq Hydro Aare AG is investing 10.5 million Swiss francs in the 480-metre bypass watercourse.
Heading for the sun
The potential to harness the solar energy is vast. Alpiq intends to make greater use of this energy source – for example with PV systems on the rooftops of large industrial companies or farming properties. We visited Henri Julmy in Ponthaux in the canton of Fribourg. Since the end of June, he has been generating solar electricity on his farm.
Risk management@Alpiq
Electricity used to be sold two to three years in advance. While this was a good option for mitigating market risks in a relatively stable environment, it became a significant liquidity risk when the market turned volatile 18 months ago. In this interview with our Head Risk Management Manuel Bertschy, we discuss what effect the current market environment is having on hedging strategies in the energy sector and how this relates to risk management.
