Position of the academies on the future electricity supply in Switzerland.
Translated with DeepL
The switch to renewable energies and the great need for renewal and expansion in production and transmission mean that a fundamental reorganisation of the electricity system is to be expected. The Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences welcome the fact that the federal government wants to create a clear framework for energy policy in the coming years. In principle, they support the new energy policy's focus on using energy more efficiently and expanding renewable electricity production. Another important goal is the integration of the Swiss electricity supply into the European market.
Three of the four Swiss academies were involved in the work: the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences (SATW), the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences (SAGW) and the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT).
