Switzerland’s electricity supply is facing a dual challenge: the planned phase-out of nuclear energy and a projected increase in electricity demand due to population growth and increased electrification. As a result, the country needs to build additional production capacities for over 40 terawatt hours of electricity by 2050.

To address these challenges, massive investments in the energy system’s transformation and expansion are needed, prompting a collaboration between Energy Infrastructure Partners and the Energy Science Center (ESC) of ETH Zurich.
