4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Swiss Energy Storage Power Station Project Planning"

Where is the largest battery energy storage system in Switzerland?

The project in Ingenbohl, Switzerland. Image: EWS AG. Utility EWS AG and developer MW Storage have completed the expansion of a battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Switzerland from 20MW to 28MW, making it the country's largest.

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.

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).

What is a pumped storage plant (PSP)?

Pumped storage plants (PSP) which allow to store large amounts of electric energy by using surplus energy for pumping and releasing energy in times of high demand. The contributions of the various energy sources and power plant types to the Swiss electricity generation are shown in Figure 1.
