AEW Energie is a publicly owned Swiss utility operating generation (hydro, solar, wind), grid distribution, and telecom services across Aargau. Their tech posture is enterprise-standard (SAP S/4HANA, ServiceNow, GIS, Azure) but their project velocity reveals internal modernization work: simultaneous pushes on data governance, platform modernization, grid infrastructure renewal, and renewable technology evaluation signal an organization scaling beyond legacy utility operations into digital-first grid and customer systems.
