These new installations contribute to the supply security of the French-speaking part of Switzerland and improve the stability of the transmission network.

Swissgrid can now begin construction work on the overhead line between Chamoson and Chippis in the canton of Wallis.

The line is part of the «Strategic Grid 2025» and will secure the supply for Greater Bern when the Mühleberg power plant will be shut down in 2019.

Until now, Swissgrid has been responsible for collecting grid premiums, feed-in tariffs and issuing guarantees of origin.

They concern secondary (SRL) as well as positive and negative tertiary control power (TRL+, TRL-).

The documentation of the extra-high-voltage grid with all lines and substations must be updated on a regular basis.

European transmission system operators appoint Swissgrid CEO.

Regula Wallimann, Dominique Gachoud and Dr. Kerem Kern were elected as new members to the Board of Directors.

On April 5, 2017, nineteen European Transmission System Operators signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the design, implementation and operation of a new manual frequency restoration reserve platform.
