How Alpiq puts sustainability into practice

Alpiq generates power from its own diverse portfolio of renewable resources and supports our customers to reduce the environmental footprint of their activities. Read more about our sustainability initiatives.

 

Alpiq has a diverse national and international power generation portfolio from renewable resources, which comprise hydropower, wind and photovoltaics.  

Through the PPA business in particular, Alpiq is making a decisive contribution to enabling investors and other asset owners to de-risk and sustain their investments in renewable assets as well as enabling industrial customers to decarbonise their value chain.  

Through this diversified portfolio, many sustainability initiatives are decentralised and country- or asset-specific. Our country-specific commitments and success stories showcase the remarkable initiatives driven by Alpiq.
