Energy policy milestones since Fukushima
• On 25 May 2011, Federal Council
announces decision to withdraw from
nuclear energy.
• Parliament subsequently adopts this

• Initial package of Energy Strategy 2050
measures to be submitted to Parliament at
its 2013 autumn session.

Energy Strategy 2050: key elements (1/2)
1. No new nuclear power plants
2. Promotion of energy efficiency (-43% p.c. By 2035)
3. Increased use of renewable energy
• Hydropower: + 3.2 TWh
(+ pump storage for integration of new renewable energy
forms)
• New renewable energy: exploitation of sustainably
utilisable potentials (14.5 TWh by 2035)
4. Remaining demand to be met through:
• Fossil-fuelled electricity production (primarily gas and
steam)
• Imports

4. 4
5. Expansion of electricity networks
• Optimisation, renovation and expansion of
transmission and distribution networks
• Reorientation in direction of smart grids
6. Intensified energy research
7. Federal government to act as role model
8. Strengthening of SwissEnergy programme
9. Intensification of international cooperation
in the energy sector
