Renewable energy - Production

December, 2013

Thanks to its topography and high levels of annual

rainfall, Switzerland has ideal conditions for the

utilization of hydropower. Hydroelectric energy

production is the leading renewable energy

source with 62.43% of national total electricity

production.

The total installed renewable capacity (biomass

+ geothermal + hydroelectricity +solar +wind) in

Switzerland increased by 1.13% from 14,031

MW in 2010 to 14,189 MW in 2011, ranking on

17th position globally. Over the previous 5 years,

the total installed renewable energy capacity has

raised by 0.44% .

China was the world leader for total installed

renewable capacity in 2011 with 301,440 MW,

or 21.24 times larger than Switzerland.

The total installed renewable capacity in

Switzerland in 2012 represented 69.5% of total

installed energy capacity (all conventional + all

renewable energy sources).

Switzerland Renewable energy production

Switzerland renewable energy production is

mainly based on hydroelectric production.

In 2011 it covered a share of 63% of total

renewable energy production. Biomass energy

production is the second renewable source of the

country.

Despite the little share, solar energy production

has considerably grown up in the last years, such

as wind and biomass energy production.

In 2010, electricity production from renewable sources in Switzerland reached a share of

about 55 % of the total.

One of the main objectives of Switzerland's energy policy, with the introduction of the FIT,

is to increase the amount of electricity generated by “new” renewable energy (without

large-scale hydro) by 5,400 GWh, or 10% of the electricity consumption, by 2030.

Wind energy is supposed to add 600 to 1,200 GWh to these targets.

Switzerland RE forecast in Switzerland

Forecasts

The Swiss government’s target for 2020 is to reach a renewable energy production equal to 24 %

of total energy consumption.

The target put a few years ago for 2030 is to add a 5,400 GWh or renewable energy production to

total. This means aproximatively 220 GWh per year. In 2020 the added production should be

approximatively 3000 GWh.

Switzerland Renewables - Incentive scheme

Incentives for renewables – fast overview

• The main stimulus for renewables is a feed-in-tariff scheme for each renewable source emended by

government.

The Swiss FIT program took as a base model the German FIT program.

• The first Energy Law was introduced on 26th June 1998, the so called “LEne”, and in 2008 new feed-in-tariffs

were introduced, with the “LAEI” the new Energy Law.

Through the years there was made revisions on energy law. Feed-in-tariffs for renewables, were actualized in

February 2010, but they are still provisory.

• Tariffs are paid for a period of 20-25 years.

At the beginning of the 1970s, based on the estimated mean production level, hydropower accounted

for almost 90% of domestic electricity production, but this figure dropped to approximately 60% by

1985 following the shutting of Switzerland's nuclear power plants, and is at present about 56%. In

consequence, hydropower remains Switzerland's major domestic source of renewable energy.

Over a third of the total power produced in Switzerland is supplied by stations using reservoirs -

constructed by building huge dams in the mountains. The dam wall of Grande Dixence, in canton

Valais, the third highest in the world, at 285 meters.

Run-of-river stations, which use the water's natural flow to drive their turbines supply another

quarter comes.

556 hydropower plants in Switzerland have a capacity of no less than 300 kilowatts each, which

generate an average of approximately 35,830 GWh per year:

-47% are produced in run-of-river power plants,

-49% in storage power plants and

-approximately 4% in pumped storage power plants.

Two-thirds of hydroelectricity are produced in the mountain cantons of Uri, Grisons, Ticino and

Valais, while Aargau and Bern also generate important quantities. Approximately 11% of Switzerland's

hydropower generation derive from facilities sited on bodies of water along the country's borders.

The hydropower market is estimated at 2 billion Swiss francs (basis = delivery from power plant at 5

cents/kWh), and is thus an essential fragment of Switzerland's energy industry.

• The photovoltaics market has expanded globally by more than

30% per year over the past few years, in particular in Europe. In

Switzerland, the installed capacity is approximately 30 MW, or

0.04% of Switzerland's electricity production, which is very small

proportion. Nevertheless, with the introduction of feed-in tariffs

remuneration to the electricity network, the Swiss photovoltaics

market should expand more. The systems average output in

Switzerland is about 820 kWh/kWp (annual yield/peak output of

system), however modern systems are capable of generation up to

1,000 kWh/kWp, even in the low-lying regions.

• The export volume of Swiss photovoltaic products continues to be

high and is estimated to more than 1 500 MCHF in 2009.

to the purpose of getting

South regions are clearly advantaged in solar energy production because of the higher level of sun

irradiation during the year.

Especially the regions of Valais, Grisons and Glaris.

When calculating the total remuneration, the following procedure has to be applied:

The total remuneration for the year 2012 therefore amounts to 10,655.26 Euro

• By the end of 2012, in Switzerland operated 32 wind turbines

with a total power of 49 MW, generating about 88 GWh of electricity.

• In Switzerland, there is plenty of potential for developing wind

criteria of Switzerland's wind energy concept to produce around 600

GWh of electricity per annum by 2030.

Switzerland Biomass, biofuels, biogas energy

• After hydropower, biomass is the second most

important source of renewable energy in Switzerland,

and it can be utilized for generating electricity, heat and

motor fuel. About 40% of the energy potential of biomass

is presently being used in Switzerland.

• In 2010, biomass and wastes energy production

reached about 1553 ktoe (18.000 GWh), equal to

31.27% of total renewable energy production.

• The Biomass-biogas energy production target for 2035-

2050 is 26.000 GWh.

of a waste fraction must not

only be proven to be

environmentally beneficial to

be implemented, it must also

be economically sustainable.

In Switzerland there are no geothermal power installations and no electricity is produced

from geothermal sources at present. Nevertheless, the Deep Mining project in Basel intends to

build a facility capable to generate 3 MW of electricity and 20 MW of thermal production,

capable as well to provide electricity to approximately 10,000 households and to provide heat

to 2,700 households. In 1996 started the preliminary work on this pilot project on the

initiative of, and with the support of, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.

The utilization of geothermal energy for direct-use has enhanced considerably, mostly with the

installations of geothermal heat pumps (GHP).

The second major utilization of geothermal energy is with thermal spas and wellness facilities.

The percentage of the different uses in terms of energy use (GWh) is 73.9% for HE and

horizontal loops, 13.6% for balneology, 10.4% using shallow groundwater, 1.0% using

geostructures (energy piles), 0.6% using deep aquifers which includes using tunnel water.

On Riehen, Canton Basel city, is situated one geothermal district heating. The introduction of

a feed-in tariff and a risk coverage system have been the latest modifications in governmental

policy in 2008.

The geothermal utilization by the different categories is:

•for individual space heating - 2 MWt and 14.7 TJ/year ;

•for district heating - 3 MWt and 33.5 TJ/year;

•for air conditioning 1.4 MWt and 11 TJ/year;

•for snow melting - 0.1 MWt and 0.3 TJ/year;

•for bathing and swimming - 34.9 MWt and 1,045.4 TJ/year;

•for using tunnel water - 2.4 MWt and 7.7 TJ/year;

•for GHP - 1,017.1 MWt and 6,602 TJ/year.

The total for Switzerland is 1,060.6 MWt and 7,714.6 TJ/year
