Best places for battery storage (BESS) in Switzerland

How Gridscouter ranks Swiss substations for battery storage in a country dominated by hydro.

A hydro country

Switzerland's pumped hydro already provides a lot of flexibility. Batteries add fast response close to cities and growing rooftop solar on the Plateau.

How we rank

Substations at 110 kV and above are scored on voltage, nearby solar, existing storage and grid density.

Note

Gridscouter scores are estimates from open map data, not grid operator capacity figures. Confirm connection capacity with the grid operator.
