Zurich, 17 March 2025 – Open Energy Platform AG (OpenEP) can look back on an extremely successful 2023/24 financial year, marked by growth, innovation and a special milestone: the company’s 10-year anniversary.
OpenEP remains a leader
Last year, OpenEP once again consolidated its position as a leading energy service provider in Switzerland. With a sales volume of 10.4 TWh, the company made a decisive contribution to the country’s energy supply by covering a third of Switzerland’s gas consumption. Expenditure remained stable despite increased requirements, such as those arising from the consistently high number of trading transactions and from the regulatory environment. It also succeeded in expanding its sales of services and making positive use of market movements for customers.
Successful for 10 years
One highlight of the anniversary year was the celebration at the Casinotheater Winterthur, where long-standing partners, employees and associates looked back over the past decade. In addition to a retrospective of the company’s founding and development, the evening also provided an inspiring glimpse of the future, including a lecture by futurologist Dr Pero Mićić.
Despite the tense geopolitical situation – including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East – OpenEP has been able to ensure an uninterrupted supply by working closely with authorities and international partners. The company was also involved in national legislative discussions and supported the implementation of a solidarity agreement with neighbouring countries such as Germany and Italy.
Developments for additional customer benefits with AI
In the area of innovation, OpenEP introduced new products that strengthen the competitiveness of its customers. One particular highlight was the development of an AI-based solution for optimising energy management. In addition, OpenEP successfully implemented findings from a comprehensive study on gas markets over the next ten years.

Their continuing professional development and the creation of attractive working conditions are of central importance to us.’
Looking forward, OpenEP plans to expand its presence in existing markets and rapidly bring innovative services to the market. The company remains true to its mission: to ensure quality, efficiency and transparency for its customers.
