Swiss Energy Storage Overview

Battery Pilot Projects

Due to the rising interest in energy storage, various companies and organisations have started to build pilot projects. The goal is usually building inhouse knowledge, testing, showing the benefits of such a system or preparing for a larger rollout.

This section lists all the battery pilot projects we could find. If you know of any missing projects, please let us know through the contact link above.
