One important pillar of this strategy is the further development of electricity storage capacity in Switzerland. In the next years, three large-scale pumped hydro storage power plants will be connected to the grid. The first, the Limmern pumped storage plant (1 GW), should become operational in 2016.
Swiss Federal Office of... energiedashboard.ch:... Energy prices on the markets are an important indicator of the current market and supply situation in Europe and Switzerland. Supply (production) is combined here with demand (consumption) and ultimately results in a price for a specific energy product. There are markets for different products.
The Swiss Federal Office of Energy compiles statistics concerning Switzerland's energy supply and consumption. You can either download the overall energy statistics for Switzerland, electricity statistics and sector statistics in PDF format, or order them in printed form from the BBL Online Shop.
Despite a notable population increase of 28.7% between 1990 and 2020, energy consumption decreased by 5.9% during this period. The majority of energy consumed in Switzerland is derived from petroleum and motor fuels, accounting for 43% of the total, followed by electricity at 26%, and gas at 15%.
These include electricity (power), gas, heating oil, diesel and petrol. Different data are used for this purpose. For electricity and gas, data from the stock exchanges are used. In contrast to electricity prices, the data on gas prices are referenced to a base year, as licensing issues still need to be clarified.
