Energy Storage Infrastructure for 100% Renewable Generation in Switzerland

STORE aims to design the requirements of the energy storage infrastructure (technological mix, energy capacities and power ratings, geographical distribution, and aggregation levels) to achieve 100% generation from renewables in Switzerland. By identifying these requirements and tackling industry-driven use cases, STORE will evaluate their impact on local and system operations in a holistic setting, providing quantitative information on their performance to foster future investments in the sector. The project is financed by the industrial partners of the project, and by Innosuisse (flagship programme). The project started at the end of 2023 and is 4-year long.
