Sustainability at ­Swissgrid

Swissgrid is helping to shape the future of energy in Switzerland – safely, innovatively and sustainably. As the operator of the Swiss extra-high-voltage grid, Swissgrid is the backbone of a reliable supply of electricity and is on duty around the clock to ensure stable and secure grid operation at all times. Swissgrid is already planning and building the grid of the future and making an important contribution to the successful transformation of the energy system. The expansion of renewable energies, the increasing decentralisation of electricity generation, rising demand for electricity and new requirements in relation to flexibility and digitalisation are placing high demands on grid operations and infrastructure.

Sustainability is not just an afterthought for Swissgrid, but represents an integral part of its activities and its corporate strategy. The company is investing in a secure and future-proof extra-high-voltage grid that will facilitate the decarbonisation of the economy and society. Swissgrid systematically takes environmental, social and economic aspects into account when planning, building and operating the grid. Swissgrid is thereby strengthening the sustainability, resilience and acceptance of Switzerland’s supply of electricity on the grid side.
