Overall energy statistics
Switzerland''s energy balance provides information on domestic production, import / export, storage, conversion, own consumption, transport and grid losses and consumption of the
Overall, Switzerland exported 7.6 TWh and imported 6.8 TWh; but, in terms of emissions of carbon dioxide, Switzerland exported "clean" electricity causing emissions of 0.1 million tonnes of CO 2 and imported "dirty" electricity causing emissions of 5 million tonnes of CO 2.
Despite a notable population increase of 28.7% between 1990 and 2020, energy consumption decreased by 5.9% during this period. The majority of energy consumed in Switzerland is derived from petroleum and motor fuels, accounting for 43% of the total, followed by electricity at 26%, and gas at 15%.
However, the country has seen a slight decline in its total final energy intensity score. While still relatively strong (64.5), energy security remains Switzerland's primary challenge, particularly in areas such as energy storage and reliance on imports.
While still relatively strong (64.5), energy security remains Switzerland's primary challenge, particularly in areas such as energy storage and reliance on imports. The Federal Act on a Secure Electricity Supply with Renewable Energies was approved by Swiss voters in June 2024.
