SwissWinds has already constructed the highest wind farm in Europe on the Nufenen Pass, at 2478 metres above sea level, which is located on the highest mountain pass with a paved road in Switzerland. Further projects, primarily located in the canton of Valais, will be developed or brought to a ready-to-build status in the coming years.
MET Green Assets Holding AG, headquartered in Baar (Switzerland), is MET Group’s rapidly growing renewable energy unit. Convinced that the shift to renewable energy is crucial to creating a healthy and liveable planet for present and future generations, MET Green Assets Holding is investing in renewable energy projects in Europe. The focus is on onshore wind farms and solar plants.
In this context, MET Green Assets Holding has acquired a 25 percent stake in SwissWinds Holding SA and its subsidiaries and has become a strategic partner of SwissWinds. Together, the two partners will implement wind farm projects in Switzerland.
“Wind turbines supply 60 percent of electricity in the winter months – exactly when Switzerland faces a supply gap in its electricity supply” said Martin Senn, founder of SwissWinds. “Wind energy is therefore an important pillar of Switzerland’s energy security.”
