Overview of the year
120 years of Repower: a book marking the anniversary
May
In 2024, Repower celebrated its 120th anniversary and published a book to mark the occasion.
The book marking the anniversary, entitled “Strom Werke Menschen – 120 Jahre Repower” (“Power, plants, people: 120 years of Repower”) is a comprehensive chronicle of the company’s history highlighting the numerous achievements and the people behind them. Published by Repower, it was written by independent journalists and historians who conducted numerous interviews and delved into the Repower archives to research the book.
The book launch took place on 8 May 2024 in the Grand Council building in Chur, and included an inspiring address from Graubünden government member Carmelia Maissen. The book was also presented to the public at the Sala Torre in Poschiavo on 24 May.
The 224-page publication gives readers a deep insight into the challenges Repower has faced, its successes and failures. It’s divided into several chapters highlighting various aspects of the company’s history, starting with a chapter about the development of hydropower and the energy industry in Graubünden and the role that Repower has played in this. A particular highlight is the numerous historical photographs impressively documenting the development of the company and the regions.
At the AGM on 15 May, all shareholders were presented with a copy of the book.
