Highlights:
- Hansen signs a five-year, AUD$ 11m contract with
Switzerland-based BKW
- BKW will deploy Hansen MDM across its meter network via a SaaS
model
- Continues Hansen’s success in the DACH region (Germany,

Hansen Technologies (ASX:HSN), a leading global provider of
software and services to the energy, water and communications
industries, is pleased to announce a new five-year contract with
BKW, an international energy and infrastructure company
headquartered in Bern, Switzerland.
Under the terms of the agreement, Hansen MDM (Meter Data
Management) will be deployed via a Software as a Service (SaaS)
model across BKW’s meter network across Switzerland as part of its
Smart Meter rollout programme. This multi-year agreement follows
Hansen’s recent success in Switzerland, having extended its
contract with existing customer Swissgrid, the national grid
company of Switzerland, in May 2022.
The expansion of Hansen’s footprint in the DACH region, follows
Hansen’s existing presence in the UK, Europe and the Nordic region.
The European market’s move towards shorter meter-read periods,
requires utility companies to implement agile solutions that can
scale with an exponential rise in data volumes, while managing
costs effectively.
BKW and Hansen have already commenced planning for the
cloud-based deployment, with a go-live targeted for the first half
of calendar year 2024.
Urs Ackermann, Smart Programme Director, BKW, said: “With
their impressive track record in Europe, Hansen was the natural
choice to be our strategic partner as we advance into a digital
future. At BKW, a product that provides all of the functionality
that we need, not just for today but for the future as well, and a
team with both exceptional expertise and an unwavering commitment,
were the key criteria for our buy-in. We found the Hansen team to
be completely aligned with what we envision we need to effectively
navigate the dynamic energy market of tomorrow.”
Graeme Taylor, Global Chief Executive Officer at Hansen,
said: “BKW is one of the leading energy companies in the Swiss
market and we are incredibly proud to be selected to support their
digital transformation. Our continued expansion into the DACH
region is particularly pleasing and aligns with our strategic plans
for regional growth. As the energy market continues to evolve,
Hansen’s suite of capabilities are enabling the next generation of
energy providers to meet the operational efficiency demands of a
transitioning market. In the case of BKW, our SaaS-based MDM
solution provides cost and operational certainty, critical to
meeting the demands of the future.”
