On 9 June 2024, 69 percent of Swiss voters approved the Electricity Act, which stipulates that, by 2050, Switzerland is to meet some 60 percent of its electricity demand (45
Swiss wind power accounted for only 146 GWh or 0.2% of net-electricity production in 2019. The contribution of wind power to Switzerland''s electricity supply remains modest compared to
Energy storage is rapidly become more and more relevant due to the increasing renewable energy fraction in the grid, the rise of photovoltaics and the increase in electric cars.

This 20MWh system combines solar, wind, and yes – organic waste from animal enclosures. It''s so efficient, the penguins could probably run it (but don''t tell the zookeepers).
Wind power is also an ideal supplement to solar energy from PV systems. Together, they perfectly complement the existing Swiss power plant portfolio of renewable

Using Switzerland as an example, the energy demand and the technical challenges, and the economic feasibility of a transition to an
As the most sustainable supplier of energy in Switzerland, we are proud of our hydropower plants – the twelve plants in the Grisons and the three on the Limmat produce the lion''s share of our
In this study, we have conducted a data-driven analysis of the complementarity between solar PV and wind energy production in Switzerland over four years, to evaluate the
A new pumped-storage station in one of the highest and remotest parts of Switzerland will help cope with fluctuations in wind and solar-power supply.
Using Switzerland as an example, the energy demand and the technical challenges, and the economic feasibility of a transition to an energy economy based entirely on renewable
