Technical FAQs 4

What is Switzerland's energy mix?

Increasing investment in nuclear and optimizing solar energy capture will be crucial to stabilize and grow Switzerland's clean electricity output. Switzerland's electricity mix includes 56% Hydropower, 29% Nuclear and 11% Solar. Low-carbon generation peaked in 2001.

Why does Switzerland need a secure electricity supply?

The demand for electricity in Switzerland has also grown, for example in industry, and also for electric vehicles and heat pumps. To ensure the security of the supply, Parliament has therefore passed the Federal Act on a Secure Electricity Supply from Renewable Energies. A referendum has been sought against this legislation.

How will Swiss voters vote on new energy projects?

This will increase the chances that a project can be realised even in the event of opposition. Popular votes on new energy projects remain possible. On 9 June Swiss voters will vote on the Federal Act on a Secure Electricity Supply from Renewable Energy Sources.

What does the new energy bill mean for Switzerland?

The bill lays the foundations for a rapid expansion of Switzerland's energy production from renewable sources such as hydropower, solar, wind and biomass. This will lessen the country's dependence on energy imports and reduce the risk of critical supply situations.
