A newly built gas power plant is debated to cover future power shortages during the winter. There are considerations regarding a testing facility in belonging to the Italian engineering firm . The facility is connected to both the gas and the electricity grid, and when both installed turbines are running, it feeds 740 megawatts into the Swiss electricity grid. After accounting for 5.4 TWh consumed by storage pumps, net electricity generation stood at 66.7 TWh. Hydropower plants, including both run-of-river and storage facilities, produced 40.8 TWh—21.7% more than in 2022—contributing 56.6% to the total electricity production. [pdf]
