The grid enables the electricity that is produced to be used everywhere, around the clock, by connecting all power plants, storage facilities and consumers. The Swiss transmission grid, which is like a network of «electricity highways», has an important role to play.
The grid and secure grid operations are fundamental prerequisites for prosperity and high quality of life in Switzerland. From healthcare and business to individual households, our modern society depends on electricity being available at all times, even in the most remote locations.
The grid development process in Switzerland is governed by the provisions of the Federal Act on the Renovation and Expansion of the Grids («Electricity Grid Strategy»). The relevant provisions are found in particular in the Electricity Supply Act (Article 9a-d StromVG).
Swissgrid communicates the procedure and results of the Strategic Grid in a transparent and comprehensible manner. The grid is the backbone of a secure supply of electricity in Switzerland. This means that far-sighted planning and development of the grid are in the interest of the national economy and the entire Swiss population.
Energy storage is crucial for off-grid systems due to three essential use cases: power quality, power reliability, and balancing support. It enables time shifting during excess low-cost generation and energy release during peak demand. While storage value has been identified in many cases, these three aspects are particularly important.
