Striving for sustainable, reliable, and resilient energy systems

As we face the twin challenges of energy demand and the need for climate protection, Switzerland and the world must transform their energy systems. Climate-neutral solutions and a secure supply of energy are necessary. In addition, seasonal energy gaps require large-scale, seasonal energy storage systems.

Key objectives for building demonstrator projects
