Installed capacity of operating assets, not electricity generated — a GW of solar and a GW of gas do not produce the same energy in a year.

Capacity built per year

BuiltUnder construction

17.9 GW operating across 183 tracked assets, 145 MW under construction · last five years up 254% on the five before.

Cumulative operating capacity

Hover a bar for the year.

Built from assets operating today, by commissioning year — plants that closed before now are not in the data, so early years show only what survived. The forward bars are capacity physically under construction, not a forecast. A further 25 MW is under construction with no stated completion year. 222 MW of operating capacity has no commissioning year and sits outside the curve. 10 assets have an announced retirement date; closures are not otherwise tracked, so no net-capacity line is drawn.

98% of Switzerland’s tracked capacity has an owner recorded.
