Renewable energy: More green electricity for Switzerland

Swissgrid supports the generation of electricity from renewable sources. Swissgrid manages cost-covering remuneration for feed-in to the electricity grid and issues guarantees of origin for green electricity.

New installations are required

Swissgrid handles the payment of the cost-covering feed-in remuneration (CRF) for the Federal Government. The remuneration supports producers whose installations generate electricity from renewable sources, including hydropower, biomass, geothermal as well as wind and solar energy.

Only if it says green electricity...

Today, electricity consumers can choose their own electricity. And they are increasingly choosing green electricity. Electricity suppliers are obliged to prove the origin of their electricity. Swissgrid issues these guarantees of origin and monitors them. Guarantees of origin certify that the electricity labelled as green electricity was produced from renewable energy sources.
