Swiss containerized power generation

4 FAQs about Swiss containerized power generation

What role does hydropower play in Switzerland's energy production?

Hydropower plays a major role in Switzerland's energy production, with a share of 57.6%. In addition, storage plants are an important factor for power production at short notice and for the changeover of production from summer to winter.

How does Switzerland's energy system work?

Switzerland's current energy system is based on electricity production that usually takes place in large power plant blocks. This energy is initially transported within the transmission system, before being distributed through the various grid levels to consumers.

Does Switzerland have a hydropower plant?

In a European comparison, Switzerland is no. 4 in terms of contribution of hydropower towards electricity production, behind Norway, Austria and Iceland. There are currently (12-31-2023) 705 hydropower power plants in Switzerland that have a capacity of at least 300 kilowatts (generator).

How much energy did Swiss nuclear power plants import in 2016/17?

In the winter 2016/17, when the generation of the Swiss nuclear power plants was pronouncedly below average, the net import of 10 TWh represented even 39% of the domestic net generation in the winter half year (SFOE, 2019b).
