6 FAQs about [Switzerland battery energy storage]

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.

Can a water battery help stabilize Switzerland's energy grid?

The plant has six pump turbines and a total power output of 900 MW, enough to power as many as 900,000 homes. With a storage capacity of 20 million kWh of electricity, it is hoped the water battery will play a significant role in stabilising Switzerland and Europe’s energy grids.

Which energy storage projects have been commissioned in Switzerland?

Axpo commissioned its BESS in February this year while utility Thurplus commissioned a 3MW system in September last year. But Switzerland was the location for one of the largest energy storage projects commissioned in recent years, a 20GWh pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) unit which started operations in June 2022 in the Canton of Valais.

Why is Switzerland taking part in battery 2030?

Switzerland is taking part in the European research initiative Battery 2030, which aims to improve the longevity and energy density of conventional lithium-ion batteries so that fewer rare metals are used. Stationary systems that can stockpile renewable energy are also set for massive expansion in the coming decades.

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”.

How does Switzerland contribute to the future of electricity storage?

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. A journalist from Ticino resident in Bern, I write on scientific and social issues with reports, articles, interviews and analysis.
