Energy Dashboard Switzerland

For the visualisation of winter electricity production, winter electricity consumption, imports and exports, the monitoring data from Swissgrid are used instead of the electricity statistics of the SFOE. The reason for this is the near-real-time availability of the data from Swissgrid. It should be noted that these monitoring data are based on modelling and schedule data and that the values differ from the electricity statistics.

The data situation regarding measurements of Swiss production is not satisfactory. While measurement data in hourly resolution are available for medium and large power plants, such data are not available for the smaller plants or only feed-in to the grid instead of production. Thus, models have to be used which take into account meteorological data such as temperature, solar radiation and precipitation. In addition, the historical behaviour of the electricity generation categories is used. The production shown in the daily resolution includes both measured and modelled data. Due to the data situation and the modelling, there may be deviations from the electricity statistics of the federal government.
