Axpo Energy Reports (Previously “SENDA”)

As part of their “Axpo Energy Reports” project, Axpo is investigating four electricity generation technologies to secure (winter) electricity supply in Switzerland: wind power plants, photovoltaic systems, new nuclear power plants, and gas-fired power plants; further, hydrogen production via water electrolysis and its use in gas power plants, and electricity storage in stationary batteries are explored. The aim is to evaluate these technologies objectively and transparently, covering costs, security of supply, environmental impact, and macroeconomic effects with different partner institutions. The objective is to develop a consistent, science-based set of indicators to compare technologies across key political, economic, environmental, and social issues.
