Brauerei Schützengarten AG

Brauerei Schützengarten AG, Swiss brewing company that produces beer and generates its own electricity through hydro and solar power, is headquartered in Switzerland.

Here are key aspects of the company:

• Sustainability: The brewery integrates sustainability into its corporate philosophy by producing its own energy at the Erlenholz hydropower plant on the Sitter river since 1895.
• Innovation: Recent investments include a complete overhaul of control systems, repairs to the weir and turbine, and tripling the photovoltaic roof area in 2024 to add 340'000 kWh annually.
• Operations: The facility generates approximately 3.2 million kWh per year from its hydropower plant, which was fully renovated and automated in 2003.

Brauerei Schützengarten AG combines a century-old brewing tradition with modern renewable energy initiatives to power its operations sustainably.
