[3] By 2014 E.ON had only 6.7 of BKW and took steps to sell its remaining stake via exchangeable bonds, completing its divestiture by October of that year.

Due to the necessity to diversify the mix and satisfy the increasing demand, BKW is introducing some fossil fuel power through shares in abroad plants.

[8] In 2008 a new 800 MW combined cycle gas power plant started operation in Livorno Ferraris (province of Vercelli, Italy).

BKW produces up to 52% of its power through owned or shared hydroelectric plants in Switzerland and Italy.

[9] The owned plants are located mainly in Bern canton:[10] Some of the group companies also produce hydroelectric power.

BKW and Axpo founded Resun AG to prevent the consequent energy lack.

BKW provides around one million people in 400 municipalities in Bern Canton and surroundings with power, through its local and distribution networks of up to 132 kV.
