The essentialsOpen the source beside the claim you want to check.

  1. Original publications

    Check the publisher, date and exact page or table. Source records link to the original publication.

    Source and limits
  2. Calculations and models

    Inspect the inputs and assumptions behind a result. Curated downloads provide values and calculation details.

    Source and limits
  3. Evidence records

    Each numerical claim has a definition, period and limitations. A conditional result stays conditional in the short version.

    Source and limits

Keep in viewA source link lets you inspect the basis of a claim; it does not make an estimate or model result certain.

In supply-case records, “routine” means planned maintenance with no additional prolonged outage. “Maximum one-hour shortfall” means the largest hourly power gap; it does not specify its duration.

Observed

Electricity 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

Scenario

Central 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

Scenario

Lower 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.

Independent demand model v1

Scenario

Higher demand scenario

147.2 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.

Calculated

Nuclear 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.

Swiss Electricity Statistics 2025

Policy target

Renewables excluding hydro

45 TWh · 2050

Minimum average annual generation target reported by BFE.

Minimum generation target from the corrected March 2026 report. Delivery requires the relevant projects and operation.

Energy Strategy 2050: Monitoring Report 2025, full report

Scenario

Exports 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

Scenario

Demand 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

Scenario

Day-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

Assumption

Illustrative 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.

Scenario

2035 annual end-use demand with separate data center allowance: extra

1 TWh/year · 2035 with 2030 central study DC total held constant

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. 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: Extra = published DC scenario minus 2.08 × interpolated activity × interpolated retained-electricity intensity. Assign all embedded data center electricity to services or industry separately as mapping sensitivities. Retain the remainder of sector demand.

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: Extra = published DC scenario minus 2.08 × interpolated activity × interpolated retained-electricity intensity. Assign all embedded data center electricity to services or industry separately as mapping sensitivities. Retain the remainder of sector demand.

Calculated

Minimum 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.

Winters 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.
