6 FAQs about [Swiss electric energy storage]

How does electricity storage work in Switzerland?

Electricity storage is not separately defined in the Swiss legislative framework. The biggest obstacle for electricity companies is to obtain a construction permit and a concession for the operation of a pumped storage plant, which is granted for a maximum of 80 years.

Is Switzerland able to store energy?

The global challenge is not only to produce more energy from renewable sources, but also to be able to store it. With its hydroelectric power plants in the Alps and innovative projects, Switzerland is contributing to the search for solutions for the efficient, long-term storage of electricity.

Does Switzerland support pumped storage operators?

Despite the government’s objectives defined in the Energy Strategy 2050, there is currently no direct support via subsidy for pumped storage operators in Switzerland.

How pumped hydro storage in Switzerland is achieving net-zero emissions?

With the addition of Nant de Drance, the installed capacity of pumped hydro storage in Switzerland has jumped 35% to 3,462 MW. According to an analysis by the International Energy Agency, renewable energy, mostly solar and wind energy, will need to contribute to 90% of the global electricity generation to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Will Switzerland become Europe's 'electricity battery'?

As the Alpine glaciers slowly melt away, Switzerland will have the opportunity to build new dams and artificial lakes in the mountains. This will increase energy storage capacity in the Alps, strengthening Switzerland’s role as Europe’s “electricity battery”.

Could a 2 billion Swiss franc project help stabilize Europe's expensive electricity?

It could be a game changer. A 2-billion-Swiss franc (€2.05 billion/$2.10 billion) project could help stabilize Europe's increasingly expensive electricity as it shifts to renewable energy.
