Enshift focuses on sustainable energy solutions for investment properties from a single source. Following strong growth in 2025 and projects worth CHF 60 million, the company intends to drive forward its expansion in Europe. To this end, the Zug-based company has secured an investment of CHF 16 million and entered a partnership with UBS.
Founded in 2022, Enshift provides analysis, simulation, financing, installation and operation of sustainable energy solutions from a single source and finances the installed technologies over their entire service life. Revenue is generated by long-term technologies over their entire service life. Revenue is generated by long-term energy contracts over 20 to 25 years.
2025 was Enshift’s strongest year since the company was founded. The company recorded growth of over 300 per cent and realised projects with a total financing volume of CHF 60 million. Demand for integrated energy solutions – especially for solar, heating and storage systems – rose significantly across the entire European building sector. The regulatory environment provided additional tailwind. New regulations to reduce CO₂ emissions, geopolitical developments and the trend towards localising supply chains led to a significantly higher willingness to invest in the building sector. Thanks to its fully integrated financing and operating model, Enshift was able to capitalise on this momentum at an early stage and win institutional customers across Europe.
Parallel to its operational expansion, Enshift has significantly strengthened its team. The workforce grew from 30 to 50 employees. At the same time, the company’s own platform for energy management and energy trading was further developed, which significantly increased the efficiency and scalability of projects. Important reference projects – including systems for PSI, Holcim and Swiss Post – underpinned the company’s growing visibility in the European market. The Zug-based cleantech company has now completed a Series A financing round worth CHF 16 million. Swiss Solar Group was secured as the lead investor. The group has acquired several companies in the solar sector in recent years, including Younergy. In addition, there is a new strategic financing partnership with UBS, ‘which will support Enshift’s green investments in the future and enable further expansion of the business in Europe,’ according to a press release.
‘2025 was a breakthrough year for Enshift,’ says Pierre Bi, CEO and founder. “With Series A funding and the new partnership with UBS, we are laying the foundation to accelerate our mission even further: the decarbonisation of large real estate portfolios. Efficient, economically attractive and technologically leading. Our model shows that energy transformation is not only ecologically necessary, but also financially compelling.” For 2026, Enshift plans to expand its activities in Europe and introduce additional digital features to the platform. Heating solutions, battery storage and charging infrastructure are to be more closely integrated into the existing system architecture.
