Projects
Data centers in Switzerland - Electricity consumption and efficiency potential
Server rooms and data centres account for a substantial proportion of electricity consumption in Switzerland. We are currently conducting a survey to validate electricity consumption and energy efficiency potential.
SURE - SUstainable and REsilient energy for Switzerland
Sweet - SURE analyses the impact of disruptive events on the Swiss energy system. TEP Energy is working on energy demand topics such as the development of demand for energy sources in Switzerland, the impact of shocks on the demand load and the potential use of large heat pumps.
Swiss Energy Perspectives 2050+
To update the SFOE's energy perspectives, we are preparing the scenario results for the services and agricultural sector.
PUEDA+: Promotion of energy efficiency in data centers and server rooms
Program to promote energy efficiency in the Swiss IT industry
Heating Initiative Switzerland
On behalf of the Swiss Heating Initiative (WIS), the decarbonization of the heating sector will be examined by 2050. Spatial potential analyzes and the Swiss building stock model (GPM) are used.
