Powerdesign

This project aims to assess the impact of policies supporting hydropower and other renewable energies (RES) in Switzerland considering the changes in the neighbouring energy markets. Therefore, the price effect of changes in the market design and support schemes of neighbouring countries will be analysed. Based on this the profitability of hydropower and the value of RES will be analysed to determine the required support for these technologies.
