Swiss Electricity Supply after the “Mantelerlass” – Quo vadis? A perspective on Nuclear Power

In this study, we assess the role of the existing and new nuclear power plants for the Swiss electricity system. We use the Nexus-e modeling platform to develop three scenarios with different operating time of existing and construction of new nuclear power plants.

Solar PV will be a key technology of the Swiss energy transition according to new model intercomparison study

Models are valuable tools to assess potential future pathways of the energy transition. Such models can diverge in their objective functions, data inputs and assumptions. Multi-model analyses can provide important insight into such divergences and similarities and provide more robust assessments. In a recent study, we have compared Nexus-e, EXPANSE and OREES, three electricity system…

New Nexus-e management! Jonas joins Nexus-e as the new project manager

Jonas Savelsberg joined the Energy Science Center at ETH Zurich as a senior project manager for Nexus-e in August 2023.

Nexus-e is growing! Matthieu Boubat joined as new scientific assistant.

Matthieu Boubat joined the Energy Science Center (ETH Zurich) in July 2023 as a scientific assistant. He is working on scenario developments for various projects at ESC and collaborating toward making the Nexus-e platform open source.

Assessing the Feasibility of Scenarios for the Swiss Electricity System

The company Helion, the Swiss industry association Swissolar and National Councilor Jürg Grossen have each developed roadmaps for the Swiss electricity system up to 2050. These scenarios are characterized by a rapid and strong expansion of photovoltaics (PV) to compensate for the phase-out of nuclear energy and to cover a large part of the increasing electricity demand. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of these Roadmaps and compare them with the "Business as usual" ("Weiter Wie Bisher", WWB) scenario of the Energy Perspectives 2050+.
