BKW Energie AG is a Bern-based international energy and infrastructure company employing around 10 000 people. The Group plans, builds and operates infrastructure to produce and supply energy to businesses, households and the public sector, and offers digital business models for renewable energies. BKW's portfolio comprises everything from engineering consultancy and planning for energy, infrastructure, and environmental projects, through integrated offers in the field of building technology, to the construction, servicing and maintenance of energy, telecommunications, transport, and water networks.
On 20 December 2019 at BKW permanently deactivated the Mühleberg Nuclear Power Plant (KKM) located in the Canton of Berne, Switzerland. This is the first-ever decommissioning of a power reactor in Switzerland. The deactivation of KKM will reduce BKW’s electricity production by a quarter, and by half in the canton of Bern. The decommissioning is an element of the company's transformation from an energy company to international energy and infrastructure service provider.
