Netra sells a portfolio of photovoltaic projects to GEFISWISS Energy Transition Fund
Geneva, September 2025
Netra, a Swiss leader in the development and management of energy storage and renewable electricity generation solutions, announces that it has sold a portfolio of photovoltaic projects, comprising 10 installations located in Switzerland, to GEFISWISS Energy Transition Fund (GETF).
The portfolio, with a total capacity of 3.5 MW, produces an average of 3.6 GWh of renewable electricity per year. The projects were energized between 2024 and the first half of 2025.
A collaboration in the service of the energy transition
For Netra, this transaction is in line with its strategy: to develop and install new battery energy storage and solar power facilities, while ensuring the highest level of management for these projects, by a leading player in the investment and operation of sustainable infrastructure. This approach also demonstrates Netra’s commitment to forming long-term partnerships with asset owners.
Alexis Hervieu-Causse, Founder & CEO of Netra :
« "We are delighted with the outcome of this transaction with GETF, as deals of this kind clearly demonstrate that partnerships between renewable energy developers and investors can play a key role in the energy transition. This transaction will enable Netra to continue its growth and further expand its investments in a wider range of projects, particularly in battery storage. We are committed to supporting the growth of renewable energy in Switzerland through a portfolio of projects at various stages of development, with a capacity exceeding 100 MW."
A key milestone for GETF's investment strategy
Thanks to this transaction, the total capacity of the photovoltaic portfolio operated by GETF now stands at 9.6 MW, with an annual production of nearly 9.5 GWh. This transaction illustrates GETF's growth strategy, whose mission is to finance, acquire and operate sustainable energy infrastructure. The fund continues to diversify through commercial, industrial and agricultural photovoltaic installations, with a strong presence in French-speaking Switzerland (cantons of Fribourg, Vaud, Valais and Geneva).
Thomas Lier, Head of the GETF fund :
"With the acquisition of this portfolio of photovoltaic projects developed by Netra, we are consolidating the fund's growth trajectory and confirming our active role in the energy transition in Switzerland. Each new installation added to our portfolio helps to reduce our carbon footprint while generating sustainable returns for our investors."
A strong signal to the market
Netra is committed to accelerating the growth of renewable energy in Switzerland with a strong portfolio of projects. Some of these projects are at an advanced stage of obtaining permits, and we aim to start construction on some of them in the near future.
Solar energy is a key element of Switzerland's energy strategy, which aims to increase installed capacity to nearly 30 GW by 2035. The development of this portfolio of solar power plants helps to support Switzerland's ambitions and assist it in achieving its renewable energy targets for 2035.
