Switzerland's ambitious Energy Strategy 2050 aims for: Recent data reveals a critical gap: This CHF 200. The EKZ Volketswil Battery Energy Storage System is an 18,000kW energy storage project located in Volketswil, Zurich, Switzerland. The project was announced in 2017 and was commissioned in 2019. The storage facility and an AI data center will be built next year on a field next to the power lines.
Based on current scientific knowledge, leading Swiss researchers consider that where large amounts of energy need to be stored for the medium to long-term, technologies such as compressed air and pumped hydro storage as well as power-to-X systems are favoured in terms of performance.
The introduction of distributed energy storage represents a fundamental change for power networks, increasing the network control problem dimensionality and adding long time-scale dynamics associated with the storage systems' state of charge levels.
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.
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.
