An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The electricity sector in Switzerland relies mainly on hydroelectricity, since the Alps cover almost two-thirds of the country's land mass, providing many large mountain lakes and artificial reservoirs suited for hydro power. In addition, the water masses drained from the Swiss Alps are intensively used by run-of-the-river hydroelectricity (ROR). With 9,052 kWh per person in 2008, the country's electricity consumption is relatively high and was 22% above the European Union's average.

  • Die Elektrizitätswirtschaft in der Schweiz weist eine Jahreserzeugung von rund 63 Terawattstunden (2012) auf und versorgt neben privaten Endverbrauchern Industriekunden und Gewerbe mit elektrischer Energie. Sie weist einen geschätzten Umsatz von rund 14,1 Milliarden Franken (2010) und etwa 21'000 Beschäftigte auf. (de)
  • The electricity sector in Switzerland relies mainly on hydroelectricity, since the Alps cover almost two-thirds of the country's land mass, providing many large mountain lakes and artificial reservoirs suited for hydro power. In addition, the water masses drained from the Swiss Alps are intensively used by run-of-the-river hydroelectricity (ROR). With 9,052 kWh per person in 2008, the country's electricity consumption is relatively high and was 22% above the European Union's average. In 2013, net generated electricity amounted to 66.2 terawatt-hours (TWh). About 60% of Switzerland's electricity generation comes from renewable sources, most of it from hydro (56.6%), while non-hydro renewables supplied a small contribution of 3.4%. Nuclear contributed 37.6% to the country's electricity production and only about 2.5% were generated by fossil fuel based thermal power stations. (en)
  • Le secteur de l'électricité en Suisse s'appuie principalement sur l'hydroélectricité, car les Alpes couvrent près des deux tiers de la superficie du pays et offrent de nombreux grands lacs de montagne et réservoirs artificiels adaptés à l'énergie hydraulique. (fr)
  • In Svizzera la produzione di energia elettrica avviene in gran parte grazie all'utilizzo di energia idroelettrica e nucleare. Quantitativi di ordine di grandezza inferiore provengono da altri tipi di fonti, tra cui principalmente la combustione di fonti fossili. Il paese inoltre, grazie alla sua posizione centrale nel continente europeo ha quantità significative di energia scambiata con l'estero, e in particolare con Francia e Italia. (it)
