In Kappel, in the canton of Solothurn, we will install one of the largest battery storage systems in Switzerland with a total capacity of 65 megawatt hours. Primeo Energie will use the stand-alone storage system to make energy more flexible and store electricity temporarily and withdraw it again when it is needed.
In this way, the system will help to stabilise the Swiss power grid. With this large-scale storage system, we are making a decisive contribution to the implementation of Switzerland's Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to convert 100 per cent of its energy supply to renewable energies by 2050.
For the midterm, battery storage will therefore primarily improve grid stability in Germany – at least to the extent that these storage systems are tailored to grid needs and not to the optimization of solar power consumption in households. Younicos is thus focusing on the market for ancillary grid services (frequency response), not arbitrage.
The new large-scale battery for Switzerland in Kappel supports the Energy Strategy 2050 and supports renewable energies.
Frederik Süllwald, our Head of Global Sales & Key Account Management, explains: ' Large battery storage systems will play an increasingly important role in stabilising the power grid in the future. Our stand-alone storage system will help to
“The new regulations encourage the temporary storage of solar production peaks, which helps relieve the electricity grids,” said Swissolar. Switzerland installed approximately 1.78 GW of new PV capacity in 2024, according to provisional figures from Swissolar.
