Find out more about your canton and compare it with other parts in Switzerland.

Not Out of the Woods Yet The Federal Council recently announced that the security of Switzerland’s s electricity supply would not be seriously threatened in the winter of 2022/23. The situation could still cloud over again because of outages at multiple French nuclear power plants or a protracted period of very cold weather. Nevertheless, Europe’s gas storage facilities are full, and despite the dry summer, the levels of water in Switzerland’s pumped-storage reservoirs are just about at average level. The situation is better than one might have expected at the beginning of fall. Does this mean we’re out of the woods?
