Wind sites in Switzerland
Switzerland has fewer than 100 mapped wind turbines. Where Gridscouter sees potential.
The market
Wind is still small in Switzerland, with under 100 mapped turbines, mainly because permits take many years.
How Gridscouter ranks wind sites
Substations are scored on wind resource, grid voltage, existing wind nearby and open land. The land finder keeps a 500 m buffer from buildings.
Where to look
The Jura arc and some alpine passes have the best wind resource.
Note
Gridscouter scores are estimates from open map data, not grid operator capacity figures. Confirm connection capacity with the grid operator.
