Switzerland is expanding rules for rooftop solar, energy storage, and energy communities to expand self-consumption and ease pressure on the grid. The new regulations, set to take effect in 2026, introduce updated tariffs, encourage battery storage, and allow local electricity trading. The government is developing new pumped-storage hydropower facilities, which act as massive “batteries” by storing excess electricity for later use. This directive, approved by the Swiss Federal Council, is a crucial step in the federal government's comprehensive energy strategy. With the passage of the Federal Act on a Secure Electricity Supply from Renewable Energy Sources, approved by public referendum in June 2024, the country is implementing sweeping reforms designed to accelerate the adoption. .
