In Switzerland, the price paid for solar energy added to the grid varies widely, ranging from less than 4 cents to as high as 21.75 cents per kWh in 2022 in one canton alone. In 2022, Switzerland derived 6% of its electricity from solar power.
One important pillar of this strategy is the further development of electricity storage capacity in Switzerland. In the next years, three large-scale pumped hydro storage power plants will be connected to the grid. The first, the Limmern pumped storage plant (1 GW), should become operational in 2016.
In summary, "Solar & Storage Live" offers a premier international platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and business transactions in the fields of solar energy and storage, significantly contributing to the advancement of sustainable energy solutions. The Solar & Storage Live will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 16.
Another highlight is the Installation Training Hub, provided by leading providers in the solar industry, serving as a center for professional development and specialization. A special feature of the event is the Solar and Storage Live Awards, which recognize outstanding achievements in the solar and energy sectors.
