Energie 360° electrifies real estate owned by Swiss Finance & Property Funds Ltd

The growth in electromobility is continuing: in 2023, the proportion of newly registered plug-in cars was around 30%. This means that the demand for charging facilities at home is increasing and the growing number of tenant enquiries is having an impact. The SFP Group is now responding to the growing demand from its tenants and is equipping both residential and commercial properties throughout Switzerland with charging stations in stages, depending on property-specific demand. The expansion of the e-charging infrastructure is part of the sustainability strategy - with this partnership, the SFP Group and Energie 360° are jointly promoting the switch to sustainable mobility.

Energie 360° invests CHF 4 million until 2028

With the award of the contract, Energie 360° will take over the planning, delivery, installation and ongoing operation of AC charging stations, including billing and support. Energie 360° is investing CHF 4 million in an initial phase up to 2028. During this time, the company expects to save over 30 tonnes of CO₂, and as electrification progresses, the annual savings will amount to 10 to 20 tonnes of CO₂. Together, Energie 360° and the SFP Group will gradually equip the portfolio with electric charging facilities as required. The first installations will take place in Lyss, Winterthur and the city of Zurich.

Michael Birrer, Asset Manager Real Estate Direct of the SFP AST Swiss Real Estate investment group: "We are convinced that e-charging infrastructure in our rental and commercial properties will add lasting value to the portfolio and increase tenant satisfaction. In Energie 360°, we have found a partner that assumes the investment risk and is present not only in German-speaking Switzerland, but also in French-speaking Switzerland." Jörg Wild, CEO of Energie 360°, emphasises: "The partnership with the SFP Group is a perfect fit for Energie 360°. The SFP Group is driving the transformation towards sustainable mobility in a forward-looking manner and, like our company, is active throughout Switzerland with its large property portfolio."
