    FAQs about Grid-side energy storage project in Zurich Switzerland

    What is the future of electricity storage in Switzerland?

    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.

    How does a cost-covering fee affect electricity production in Switzerland?

    Further, the introduction of a cost-covering fee for feed-in to the electricity grid, in order to subsidise new renewable energy sources in Switzerland, disadvantaged traditional hydro electricity producers. As a result, high prices during peak load times dropped, which substantially lowered the revenue stream of pumped storage plants.

    Does Switzerland support pumped storage operators?

    Despite the government's objectives defined in the Energy Strategy 2050, there is currently no direct support via subsidy for pumped storage operators in Switzerland.

    How many pumped hydro storage plants are there in Switzerland?

    In the past, a total of 14, mostly small sized pumped hydro storage plants, were built, the last of which was commissioned in 1990. However, the combined capacity of these plants only amounts to 1380 MW contributing to approximately 4.4% of the total electricity produced in Switzerland.

    How many pumped hydro storage plants will be connected to the grid?

    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. Together with the existing storage plant, the capacity will be increased from around 480 MW to 1480 MW.

    What is the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050?

    In the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050, the government calls for a step-by-step withdrawal from nuclear energy. In the future, energy supply is to be secured through the development of additional hydropower capacity, the use of new renewable forms of energy and the promotion of energy efficiency.
