Technical FAQs 4

Where is the largest battery storage system in Switzerland?

In Kappel, in the canton of Solothurn, one of the largest battery storage systems in Switzerland is currently under construction, with a total capacity of 65 megawatt-hours. The successful delivery of all system components marks a key milestone on the path to commissioning. Primeo Energie will use our storage system to provide energy flexibility.

Which energy storage projects have been commissioned in Switzerland?

Axpo commissioned its BESS in February this year while utility Thurplus commissioned a 3MW system in September last year. But Switzerland was the location for one of the largest energy storage projects commissioned in recent years, a 20GWh pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) unit which started operations in June 2022 in the Canton of Valais.

Is MW storage the country's largest battery storage project?

MW Storage is a developer of BESS projects which is also active in the German market, with a 100MW/200MWh project underway that it claimed is the country’s largest. The inauguration ceremony for the BESS project. Image: EWS AG. EWS AG and MW Storage have expanded a battery storage project in Switzerland to 28MW, making it the country's largest.

How does electricity storage work in Switzerland?

Electricity storage is not separately defined in the Swiss legislative framework. The biggest obstacle for electricity companies is to obtain a construction permit and a concession for the operation of a pumped storage plant, which is granted for a maximum of 80 years.
