Wind power could supply 6% of Swiss needs by 2035
“Given that two-thirds of wind turbine output is generated in winter, every kilowatt-hour of wind power reduces the need for storage
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.
Switzerland is rapidly scaling up solar energy, with new laws requiring solar panels on all new buildings. The country is increasing wind energy capacity, especially in regions with favorable conditions such as the Jura mountains and Alpine passes.
As Switzerland moves away from fossil fuels, ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply —especially during winter months when solar and hydroelectric output is lower—remains a challenge. Solutions include cross-border energy partnerships with European countries and investments in energy storage technologies. 2. Public and Private Investment
The government is developing new pumped-storage hydropower facilities, which act as massive “batteries” by storing excess electricity for later use. Switzerland is rapidly scaling up solar energy, with new laws requiring solar panels on all new buildings.
