Feed-in tariffs are one the main instruments that was introduced 2009 by the federal government for promoting electricity production from renewable energy sources. Feed-in tariffs are not supposed to cover the entire unit technical cost of electricity from a particular energy source.

Feed-in tariff are available for the following technologies: hydropower (installed capacity between 1 and 10 megawatts; exceptions for plants with less than 1 megawatt installed capacity may apply); photovoltaics (>30 kW); wind energy; geothermal energy; and biomass.

The tariffs for power from renewable sources are based on reference power plants for each technology and output category. The tariff is applicable for 15-20 years (10 years for biomass infrastructure power plants). In view of technological progress and the increasing degree of market maturity of new technologies, the tariff rates are subject to a regular review. Reductions only apply to new production facilities that are put into operation.

The feed-in tariff system expires for new plants that come online on or after 1.1.2024. Small (<30 kW) photovoltaics plants receive investment aids (and no longer a feed-in tariff). There are investment aids for hydropower plants with an installed capacity larger than 10 megawatts. There are also investment aids for biomass-plants, The promotion system is financed by a grid surcharge for renewable energies, which is capped by law at 2.3 Swiss cent/kWh (CHF 1.2 billion Swiss Francs per year). Due to great demand and the limited amount of funds, there is a long waiting list.

Other Measures: Besides the FiT and the investment aids, there are other measures that are financed by the grid surcharge:  Hydropower remediation aims at compensating the costs of remediation measures to be implemented by existing hydropower plants to prevent or eliminate the effects of hydropeaking and change of bed load budget or to ensure passability for migrant fish. (Funding: 0.1 Swiss cent/kWh - 60 million Swiss Francs) Tenders for energy efficiency supporting electricity efficiency measures in the industry as well as in private households. (Funding: 5% of the grid surcharge).

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran&#039;s parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians&#039; contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
