6 FAQs about [Swiss Energy Storage Power Station Project]

Which energy storage projects have been commissioned in Switzerland?

Axpo commissioned its BESS in February this year while utility Thurplus commissioned a 3MW system in September last year. But Switzerland was the location for one of the largest energy storage projects commissioned in recent years, a 20GWh pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) unit which started operations in June 2022 in the Canton of Valais.

Where is the Nant de Drance pumped storage power plant?

The Nant de Drance pumped storage power plant in Valais, Switzerland. Image: Alpiq. A pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) plant with a capacity of 20GWh in Valais, Switzerland will begin operations on Friday 1 July.

What is a pumped storage power plant?

Pumped storage power plants can store electricity at times when electrical energy is abundantly available. When demand peaks are high, they can supply electricity by turbining the pumped up water. For this reason, a pumped storage plant is also referred to as a peak energy plant.

How does a storage power plant work?

In the storage process, water is pumped from a reservoir up to a lake located at an higher altitude. This water can then be released at a later time to drive turbines. Pumped storage power plants can store electricity at times when electrical energy is abundantly available.

When will energy storage become a reality in Europe?

The site, which began operation on the first of July, is the latest of its kind to come online in Europe, where energy storage needs will balloon to 200 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 as the continent transitions to intermittent renewables, per an estimate from the European Association for Storage of Energy. The Nant de Drance reservoirs in Valais.

Is MW storage the country's largest battery storage project?
