Swissgrid – moving power

Swissgrid is Switzerland's national grid company.

The Electricity Supply Act (StromVG) of 2007 reorganised the Swiss electricity market: electricity production, trading and sales as well as the transmission of electricity were separated, and Swissgrid was entrusted with the operation of the Swiss high-voltage grid. We employ 250 people from twelve countries in Frick and in Laufenburg. We represent Switzerland at international level and assume coordination and monitoring duties in the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E). Swissgrid is a limited company in accordance with Swiss law; its shareholders are Atel, BKW, CKW, EGL, EOS, ewz, NOK and RE.
