Solar energy ensures stable power supply in Switzerland
Despite reduced production from hydroelectric plants, solar energy helps avoid shortages.
Power production in Switzerland has decreased due to low river levels caused by drought. This particularly affects hydroelectric plants, which are a significant part of the power supply.
According to reports from SRF and Tages-Anzeiger, photovoltaic systems can largely compensate for this decline and therefore prevent a shortage in the power supply.
