Technical FAQs 4

What are Switzerland's new energy regulations?

Switzerland is expanding rules for rooftop solar, energy storage, and energy communities to expand self-consumption and ease pressure on the grid. The new regulations, set to take effect in 2026, introduce updated tariffs, encourage battery storage, and allow local electricity trading.

How will new solar regulations affect Switzerland's electricity grid?

“The new regulations encourage the temporary storage of solar production peaks, which helps relieve the electricity grids,” said Swissolar. Switzerland installed approximately 1.78 GW of new PV capacity in 2024, according to provisional figures from Swissolar.

What does the new energy bill mean for Switzerland?

The bill lays the foundations for a rapid expansion of Switzerland's energy production from renewable sources such as hydropower, solar, wind and biomass. This will lessen the country's dependence on energy imports and reduce the risk of critical supply situations.

What is the Swiss Federal Act on a secure electricity supply?

The Swiss Federal Council has adopted a second set of ordinances to implement the Federal Act on a Secure Electricity Supply from Renewable Energy Sources. The new regulations, set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2026, cover energy communities and minimum remuneration.
