Switzerland’s electricity generation is over 98% low-carbon, primarily driven by hydropower (approx. 60–62%) and nuclear power (approx. 29%). While the electricity sector is nearly fossil-free, the overall energy mix still relies heavily on oil products and natural gas for heating and transport. The country is transitioning to renewables, with solar energy contributing around 9% of power.

Switzerland is actively developing a green hydrogen economy to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, focusing on producing hydrogen via hydroelectricity for heavy transport and industrial use. The nation’s largest green hydrogen plant (2.5 MW) began operations in April 2024 in Domat/Ems, capable of producing 350 tonnes annually to replace diesel fuel.
