Switzerland's electricity market is distinguished by its heavy reliance on renewable energy sources, particularly hydroelectric power. The country's abundant alpine rivers and lakes facilitate the generation of hydroelectricity, making it the cornerstone of the Swiss energy strategy. In addition to hydroelectric power, Switzerland also invests in other renewable sources such as solar and wind energy, though to a lesser extent.
Nuclear energy is another significant component of Switzerland's energy mix. However, there is a gradual shift towards reducing reliance on nuclear power in favor of renewable sources, in line with the country's long-term energy strategy.
Hydroelectric power is the mainstay of Switzerland's electricity generation. The country's topographical features, including its mountainous landscape and numerous rivers, provide ideal conditions for the operation of hydroelectric plants. This reliance on hydroelectric power highlights Switzerland's commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly energy production.
Hydroelectricity not only supplies a significant portion of the national electricity demand but also plays a pivotal role in maintaining energy security and promoting sustainable development.
Although not a member of the European Union, Switzerland is closely integrated with the European electricity market. The country's strategic location in the heart of Europe and its robust energy infrastructure allow for significant cross-border electricity trading. This interconnectedness is crucial for the stability of both the Swiss and European electricity markets.
Switzerland's energy policies are geared towards ensuring a reliable, sustainable, and competitive electricity market, with a strong emphasis on integrating renewable energy sources and enhancing energy efficiency.
Switzerland faces challenges in further diversifying its energy mix, especially in increasing the share of non-hydro renewables like solar and wind energy. The country's commitment to phasing out nuclear power also presents challenges in ensuring a stable and continuous electricity supply.
Future investments are likely to focus on renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency measures. These efforts are key to achieving Switzerland's long-term goals of energy sustainability, reduced carbon emissions, and enhanced energy independence.
The price of electricity can fluctuate a lot during the day and charging an electric car consumes a lot of electricity. With the cost of electricity today in Switzerland it is 5.59 € cheaper to charge at the hours with the lowest price.
Heating is one of the things that consumes the most electricity in a typical home. You save about 5% of the costs for heating for every degree you lower the interior temperature.
Most electricity companies in Europe buy electricity on a common market place, such as Nord Pool. All power plants that produce electricity and electricity companies that supply electricity to homes and businesses meet there. Based on supply and demand, prices are set for each hour and each area, one day in advance. Some countries, such as Norway, are divided into several different price areas, each of which has its own spot price.
All prices are current open market spot prices in the day-ahead segment without local vat, tax or other additions.
