6 FAQs about [Swiss Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Project Tender Announcement]

Will pumped storage hydroelectric stations be built in Switzerland by 2040?

Fifteen pumped storage hydroelectric stations may be built in Switzerland by 2040, able to provide 2 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity each winter – a round table organised on 13th December by a government body announced.

How many hydro stations are there in Switzerland?

Of the 15 hydro stations, eight are in Canton Valais, three in Berne, two in Graubuenden and one each in Ticino and Uri. Each of the proposed construction projects must be submitted to a procedure to secure agreement at a regional level. Hydropower is the most widely used source of energy in Switzerland.

What percentage of electricity is produced by hydropower in Switzerland?

Based on the estimated mean production level, hydropower still accounted for almost 90% of domestic electricity production at the beginning of the 1970s, but this figure fell to around 60% by 1985 following the commissioning of Switzerland's nuclear power plants, and is now around 57.6%.

Why is Switzerland a good place for hydropower?

Thanks to its topography and high levels of annual rainfall, Switzerland has ideal conditions for the utilisation of hydropower.

Where does Switzerland's hydropower come from?

Roughly 11% of Switzerland's hydropower generation comes from facilities situated on bodies of water along the country's borders. The hydropower market is worth around 1,8 billion Swiss francs (basis = delivery from power plant at 5 cents per kilowatt hour), and is therefore an important segment of Switzerland's energy industry.

What does the Swiss Federal Office of energy do?

The Swiss Federal Office of Energy deals with policy-related aspects of hydropower (promotion, strategies, perspectives) as well as technical and safety aspects, while the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment is responsible for environmental aspects (residual water, protection of bodies of water).
