01 — About

A new company. Not a new team.

ENTR AG was founded in [year] in Zug by engineers and project managers who spent [15–30] years delivering hydropower and grid projects inside leading OEMs and EPC contractors.

We know these projects from the supplier’s side: the tender, the factory, the site, the handover.

We set up ENTR to bring that experience to owners and contractors directly — one Swiss entity, senior people on every project, no corporate layers between your question and the engineer who answers it.

Senior by default
The people you meet are the people who do the work.
Across disciplines
Electrical, hydromechanical, hydraulic and lifting scopes under one engineering lead.
Confidential by default
We don’t name past clients — and we won’t name yours.

02 — Sectors

Where we work

01

Hydropower & pumped storage

Rehabilitation, uprating and new units. We help owners scope, specify and deliver the electromechanical and hydromechanical packages.

Why now

Almost half of Swiss hydropower capacity was commissioned between 1950 and 1975 — the coming decades are a rehabilitation cycle.

02

Grid & substations

Substations from 6 to 500 kV: AIS and GIS, power transformers, protection and control. From FEED and specification to factory acceptance and energisation.

Why now

Austria’s transmission system operator plans 67 new substations by 2035.
