Switzerland to Launch Largest Battery Storage Facility
Switzerland is preparing to launch its largest battery storage facility in Bonaduz, marking a key milestone in the country''s shift toward sustainable energy. With a capacity of 100-120 MWh

Axpo commissioned its BESS in February this year while utility Thurplus commissioned a 3MW system in September last year. But Switzerland was the location for one of the largest energy storage projects commissioned in recent years, a 20GWh pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) unit which started operations in June 2022 in the Canton of Valais.
MW Storage is a developer of BESS projects which is also active in the German market, with a 100MW/200MWh project underway that it claimed is the country's largest.

It is being monetised in the Swiss electricity market by both CKW, part of Axpo, and utility Alpiq, the announcement said. The BESS is part of a network of power plants, consumers and batteries, it added. The large-scale BESS market in Switzerland has been relatively quiet with renewable penetration on the country's grid still relatively low.

Conclusion Not all energy storage technologies are suitable for large-scale and/or long-term storage. The most used existing techniques are pumped storage and power-to-X solutions.
Switzerland''s energy transition is accelerating, but planners and analysts have long faced fragmented or incomplete data on how rooftop photovoltaics, heat pumps, batteries, and electric
