Lonza and BKW enter into partnership for energy procurement

Bern (ots)

Lonza AG in Visp has entered into a partnership with
BKW FMB Energy Ltd (BKW) in the field of energy logistics and 
procurement management. Lonza plans to purchase its energy - around 
500 GWh per year - on the free market in future, and has selected BKW
as its partner of preference.
BKW has contracted to support Lonza AG with its energy procurement 
strategy and sustainably implement the related strategic and 
operational procurement processes. As part of the partnership, BKW 
will take over responsibility for Lonza's metered data and balance 
group management and will draw up consumption forecasts. BKW will 
also help Lonza to purchase electricity. This includes advising the 
company on procurement decisions and providing the requisite market 
information.
This partnership will allow Lonza to operate efficiently in the 
liberalised Swiss electricity market and purchase energy at optimised
cost and risk conditions.
