An assessment of energy system transformation pathways to

Here we apply a well-established techno-economic energy systems model and highlight the challenges of the Swiss energy transition under different technical, socio-economic, and geopolitical...

Three strategies to boost green electricity in Switzerland

The project aims to accelerate the use of renewable energies in Switzerland and ensure that the energy system is optimally designed, technically and economically secure and well networked with Europe by 2035 and 2050.

Switzerland''s energy transition

The study is based on calculations made with the Swiss TIMES Energy System Model (STEM) of PSI, which maps the entire energy system of Switzerland including the various interactions between technologies and sectors.

New study: Energy Future 2050

High acceptance of new energy infrastructure and close energy cooperation with the EU create the best conditions for security of supply and achieving energy and climate targets at the lowest cost. Overall, the "offensively integrated" scenario creates the most robust energy supply for

Improving the resilience of Switzerland''s energy supply

Over the next six years, researchers will study specific events that could affect Switzerland''s energy system in the future and find ways to make the energy supply as sustainable, adaptable and resilient as possible.

Critical Infrastructures, Climate Change, and Resilience of the

To meet the energy- and climate-policy goals by 2050, the Swiss energy system is undergoing a funda- mental change: New n uclear power plants may not be built, existing nuclear power

Can Switzerland transition to a secure renewables-based energy system

Switzerland has a unique opportunity not only to use its innovative strength for the energy transition in its country, but also to export technologies, expertise and experience to Europe and the world in the future.

Accelerating the Energy Transition

A group of energy innovators from Switzerland and the US met in Bern, Switzerland from August 16-18, 2022, to discuss solutions. Over the course of three days, they explored new technologies that can help with the transition—from electrical vehicles used as flexible energy storage units to supercritical geothermal generation. But above all, they

Executive summary – Switzerland 2023 – Analysis

Energy efficiency is a key pillar of Switzerland''s strategy towards reaching its energy and climate targets for 2030 and the net zero target for 2050. Switzerland shows notable decoupling between energy consumption and economic growth.

6 FAQs about [Switzerland aii energy systems]

Could alpine PV be a key role in Switzerland's energy transition?

We already have tried-and-tested solutions in both these areas, notably replacing fossil-fuel heating systems with heat pumps and heating networks and electrifying transport wherever possible. Alpine PV – ideally combined with existing infrastructure – could play a major role in Switzerland’s energy transition.

How much does the energy system cost in Switzerland?

In CLI, the per capita energy system cost rises to around 5900 CHF 2019 in 2030 and 8500 CHF 2019 in 2050. Hence, the increase in energy system cost due to the decarbonisation of the Swiss energy system starts at about 200 CHF 2019 /capita and reaches 1500 CHF 2019 /capita in 2050.

What is a Swiss time energy system model (stem)?

What is the Swiss energy strategy?

First, the Swiss energy strategy 6 aims to gradually phase out existing nuclear power (safety is the sole criterion for the phase-out time) that supplies 36% of the electricity today. This entails an energy security challenge 7, also confronted by many countries aiming at decommissioning strategic energy supply assets 8.

How will achieving net zero impact the energy system in Switzerland?

Achieving net zero targets in Switzerland will increase the per capita energy system cost by 320 to 1390 CHF/year and will rely on carbon capture and negative emissions, according to an energy system modelling analysis of 7 scenarios with different socio-economic and geopolitical contexts.

How does Switzerland prepare for a European electricity market?

Align its electricity market regulations with those in the European Union, including on full market opening, while preserving the system of electricity supplies of last resort, and prepare for the legal integration of Switzerland into the EU internal market.
