Swissgrid is pursuing the reform of the Swiss control energy market initiated in 2022. The transformation of the energy system has changed the energy mix in Switzerland and poses challenges for the operation of the transmission grid.

The electricity agreement is essential for the secure and efficient operation of the transmission grid and for Switzerland’s supply of electricity. This means that cooperation with the EU enshrined in international law is necessary, especially as the Swiss electricity grid is integrated into the European grid with 41 international interconnection lines. Moreover, the status quo cannot be maintained without an electricity agreement.

Swissgrid is building the grid of the future, modernising infrastructure and launching innovative solutions.

Close cooperation with the transmission system operators in the EU is of vital importance to ensure a secure and efficient supply of electricity.

Adrian Häsler (58), Head of Business Unit Grid Infrastructure and Deputy CEO, has decided to leave Swissgrid as of 31 March 2026 to take on new tasks, mainly on a strategic level.

Swissgrid welcomes the «Grid express» bill (legislation on the conversion and expansion of the electricity grid), which the Federal Council referred to Parliament today. It contains important legislative changes to ensure that the grid can keep pace with the restructuring of the energy system.
