Electricity flows with us

The extra-high-voltage grid forms the backbone of a secure electricity supply. Swissgrid works around the clock to ensure that it runs stably, safely and securely at all times. We operate cost efficiently and with consideration for people and the environment. We are already planning and building the grid of the future and making an important contribution to the energy transition.

Photovoltaics Integration: three key measures to maintain grid stability

16 October 2026 Blog

With the boom in photovoltaics, it is no longer enough simply to generate more solar electricity. The difficulty lies in integrating it more effectively into the electricity system. We examine three levers that can help stabilise the transmission grid: integrating solar plants to balance the grid, accessing photovoltaic production data, and configuring inverters so that they can contribute to voltage support.

First half of 2026: Less control energy deployed, procurement costs halved

1 October 2026 Media release

In the first half of 2026, the Swiss electricity system benefited from lower procurement costs thanks to a new imbalance energy price mechanism.

On duty to protect the forests and maintain supply of electricity

Trees in the vicinity of power lines can pose a risk, for example if they lose their stability as a result of natural events, changing climatic conditions or biotic factors such as fungal or beetle infestations. This can put them at risk of falling. Swissgrid manages the forests near its lines to ensure the safety of people, the environment and infrastructure.

When traffic comes to a standstill, electricity must keep flowing
