Frequently asked questions

What is the largest solar farm in Switzerland?
The largest operating solar facility in Switzerland in this dataset is Chasseral Solar AG Onnens solar project (Onnens, Vaud), with about 8.3 MW, in operation since 2016.
What is the largest wind farm in Switzerland?
The largest operating wind facility is Mt Crosin wind farm (Bern), at about 29 MW, operating since 2010.
How much solar capacity does Switzerland have?
Utility-scale solar facilities tracked by Global Energy Monitor total 97 MW in operation in Switzerland (#116 worldwide in this atlas), plus 0 MW under construction. Rooftop and small solar systems are not included, so national statistics including them are usually higher.
How much wind power capacity does Switzerland have?
55 MW of wind farms are operating (55 MW onshore), ranking #88 in this atlas, with 0 MW under construction.
How many solar and wind farms are there in Switzerland?
93 facilities are recorded, including operating, under-construction, planned, shelved and cancelled projects: 79 solar PV, 14 onshore wind.
