ObservedElectricity used by final consumers
57.5 TWh · 2024
Annual final electricity consumption in Switzerland.
2024 model baseline. Grid losses and pumped-storage charging sit outside final consumption. Newer observations are available in the 2025 statistics.
Swiss Electricity Statistics 2024
ScenarioCentral electrification scenario
93.4 TWh · 2050
Annual final electricity demand under the project's central assumptions.
Additional data center, hydrogen, e-fuel and district-heat demand is set to zero. Aviation conversion is outside the model. Further growth in these uses needs an explicit allowance.
Method: Sum of baseline activity adjusted for population, sector activity and efficiency, plus specified fuel-to-electricity conversions. See demand.py, parameters.json and all central-2050.json inputs.
Independent demand model v1
ScenarioLower demand scenario
60.8 TWh · 2050
Annual final electricity demand under this set of assumptions.
An alternative combination of inputs, with the same scope limits as the central case. The likelihood of each case remains unestimated.
Method: Same model equations as the central case, with scenario-specific parameters in scenario-results.json.

CalculatedNuclear generation in the 2025 BFE statistics
18.4 TWh · 2025
Sum of BFE table 15 generation for the four operating reactors. Gösgen had an extended outage.
Covers the stated year. Use the longer record to assess output variation. Gösgen’s BFE 2025 figure differs from operator electricity-only output; that discrepancy remains unresolved.
Method: (2,909 + 2,483 + 3,429 + 9,558) GWh ÷ 1,000 = 18.379 TWh.

ScenarioExports in one system test
21.1 TWh · 2050 scenario · 2012 hydro year
Annual exports in the no-battery case; imports are set to zero.
Assumes 8.8 GW of hypothetical new nuclear and 26 GWp of solar. Uses one national node, perfect foresight and aggregate natural hydro.
Method: exports_gwh ÷ 1,000; net exports equal exports because imports are zero.
Hourly system screening: no-battery case
ScenarioDemand left unmet in that test
216.7 GWh · Same no-battery case
Total electricity demand the model cannot serve.
The specified hypothetical case leaves some hourly demand unserved despite annual exports. Government scenarios require their own matched tests.
Method: Sum of hourly unserved demand in case n8-pv26-2012-battery_none.
Hourly system screening: no-battery case
ScenarioDay-ahead energy margin
75'649 CHF/MW/year · 2025 prices
Modelled trading margin after energy purchases and trading fees for a 1 MW / 4 MWh battery.
Calculated with perfect knowledge of prices. Capital and operating costs and other revenue markets are outside this trading margin.
Method: Sales minus purchases minus trading fees; 85% round-trip efficiency, 365-cycle limit, fixed 0.95 CHF/EUR and CHF 1/MWh trading fee in each direction.
Storage owner economics: historical-price benchmark
AssumptionIllustrative annual ownership cost
224'692 CHF/MW/year · Illustrative cost case
Annualised capital cost plus fixed operating and augmentation allowance for a 1 MW / 4 MWh battery.
Uses assumed purchase and ownership costs. A specific project needs a supplier price and a complete revenue case.
Method: CHF 1,500,000 × [0.07 × 1.07^15 ÷ (1.07^15 − 1) + 0.04]. Capital assumption: CHF 600/kW × 1,000 kW + CHF 225/kWh × 4,000 kWh.

Study of an existing-plant extension. Scheduled cases omit additional decommissioning costs and assume sufficient funding at 60 years. Early closure includes continuing shutdown costs; winter-only operation assumes six months. Approval and actual market prices remain conditions.
Method: Study discounted-cash-flow break-even price; operator best-estimate extension investment, operating costs and 7% nominal pretax finance. See the original report for its scenario-specific cash flows.

Reference-weather annual consumption; either the additional allowance or total including it, as labelled.
The precise allocation across sector/end-use/cooling components is unresolved. These are conditional mappings, not a statistical confidence interval or a calibrated central forecast. Existing small server rooms outside the study remain in the rest of demand. No further data center growth after 2030 is estimated.

ScenarioData center demand already represented by service growth
2.1 TWh/year · 2030
Matched 2.08 TWh estimate multiplied by interpolated model activity and retained-electricity intensity.
The precise allocation across sector/end-use/cooling components is unresolved. These are conditional mappings, not a statistical confidence interval or a calibrated central forecast. Existing small server rooms outside the study remain in the rest of demand. No further data center growth after 2030 is estimated. The 2025 test is a comparison against a newly applied official annual total, not an out-of-sample forecasting claim or validation of 2050 equipment assumptions.
Method: 2.08 × (1 + .25 × 6/26) × (1 − .1 × 6/26).

ScenarioPublished roof and facade portfolios: max winter yield
296.9 kWh/kWp · October–March; published portfolios using 2004–2018 weather
Two modelled portfolios used in the seasonal solar illustration: ZWB and AWS.
Published modelling, not observed national production. Site mix and weather boundary differ from the hourly programme.
Method: max(ZWB 257.8, AWS 296.9), published Table 3, printed page 21.

CalculatedMinimum annual gap even with all third-unit maintenance removed
1.1 TWh · 2050 fleet; 2016/17 weather; three new units, existing extensions, recorded lake start and up to 2 GW imports
Certified annual unmet-electricity lower bound when the third unit supplies every modelled maintenance hour, keeping its 98% availability allowance and all other resources unchanged.
A certified lower bound, not the optimized result of a new dispatch run. It determines neither winter timing, peak power nor owner revenue. Removing all third-unit maintenance is more generous than rescheduling it.
Method: Original feasible LP dual bound minus bus-marginal-weighted added generation, divided by 1000; maintenance-dual-comparisons.json supplies the certificate and source-case hashes.

ObservedWinters with documented extended outages
5 winters · 2016/17–2025/26
At least this many of the ten October–March winters from 2016/17 to 2025/26 overlapped one of the five documented events.
Observed lower-bound count, not an estimated future probability. Includes planned refurbishment with extensions; no exhaustive hourly event search.
Method: Count distinct winter labels in the selected primary-source event register.

CalculatedSolar model output in 2024 weather
835.3 kWh/kWp · 2024 weather; fit years 2020–2024
Radiation proxy fitted to BFE annual fleet yields for 2020–2024.
A model calibration, not observed plant output. Annual fit does not validate hourly timing, snow, orientation or future site mix.
Method: Least-squares fit of one radiation multiplier to five published annual yields.

Method: max(sum(winter net_imports) / 1000) subject to the recorded constraints.

Calculated2050: winter import ceiling use
85 % · 2050; October 2016–March 2017
Minimum gross imports in the reported schedule range divided by continuous use of a 2 GW connection.
Range conditional on the saved annual import total and free cyclic lakes. Import capacity does not establish available foreign supply.
Method: Range minimum TWh × 1000 / (2 GW × 4368 h) × 100.

ObservedSupplemental reserve credits approved by the National Council
131 CHF million · 28 September 2026 vote; status as of 29 September
CHF 100 million preparation/advance work plus CHF 31.3 million Monthey interim operation. Primary amounts paired with SDA reporting of National Council approval.
Approval by the National Council only; Council of States consideration pending in the 28 September report. Credit authorisation is neither cash spent nor operational capacity. Earlier project spending must not be counted again in complete project costs.

ObservedMadrisa modules connected by mid-September
10'000 modules · Mid-September 2026
Around 10,000 installed modules connected to the grid, as reported by EKZ.
Rounded owner count, about half the planned modules; module count is not an energy measurement.
Madrisa Solar: Bereits die Hälfte der Anlage am Netz
ObservedMadrisa connected capacity: almost 6 MWp
6 MWp · Mid-September 2026
EKZ describes the connected module capacity as almost 6 MWp; 6 is the rounded comparison marker, not exact installed capacity.
Preserve the word almost. MWp is rated module power; output varies with weather and daylight.
Madrisa Solar: Bereits die Hälfte der Anlage am Netz
EstimateMadrisa expected annual output at completion
17 GWh/year · Full commissioning targeted for autumn 2027
Owner forecast of about 17 GWh/year for the completed plant.
