Münchenstein, 25 April 2025 – In the 2024 financial year, aventron generated approximately 1.5 billion kilowatt hours of renewable electricity. An operating result (EBIT) of CHF 43.5 million and a solid annual profit of CHF 21.5 million underscore aventron’s continued successful growth and the strength of its resilient business model.

In total, aventron produced 1.498 billion kilowatt hours of renewable electricity in 2024 (previous year: 1.385 billion kWh), generating net revenue of CHF 134.9 million (previous year: CHF 139.3 million).

The company, headquartered in Münchenstein (canton of Basel-Landschaft), also successfully delivered several major construction projects in 2024.
