The Swiss Network for Energy Suppliers, Suppliers, Engineering Firms, and Authorities on LinkedIn

The challenges in the Swiss power supply are steadily increasing: grid expansion, integration of renewable energies, rising performance requirements, battery storage, and the shortage of skilled labor are issues that practically every grid operator faces today. This makes open professional exchange within the industry all the more important.

With our LinkedIn group "Planning, Construction, and Operation of Swiss Distribution Grids," we promote exactly this practical exchange of knowledge and experience between professionals from the Swiss energy and distribution grid sector. Our goal is to create an independent platform "from the industry for the industry," where experiences, solutions, and best practices are shared.

Valuable Exchange for Grid Operators

Among grid operators in particular, it is repeatedly shown how valuable direct exchange (e.g., ERFA) regarding real projects, technical challenges, and operational experiences is. How do others do it and where do we stand? Are we doing it right? Can I learn from another grid operator to avoid making the same mistake twice? Many challenges affect all grid operators equally—learning from one another creates efficiency, safety, and innovation. Many issues can be resolved more quickly and efficiently in practice if experiences from other plants, regions, or projects are incorporated.

Key Topics of the LinkedIn Group

The group features posts covering the topics of grid operation, engineering, planning, construction, industry, and authorities:

• Grid planning and grid operation
• Exciting construction projects for low, medium, and high-voltage systems
• New construction of substations, transformer stations, and distribution cabinets
• Digitalization and Smart Grids
• New ESTI standards and guidelines
• Project and operational experiences
• Product innovations and new Swiss companies
• Technical solutions and best practices
• Skilled labor topics and recruiting
• Exciting surveys with subsequent short reports

Meet us at Powertage 2026

The Powertage provide the ideal platform to strengthen existing networks and forge new contacts within the industry. We look forward to continuing to actively help shape the exchange within the Swiss utility industry.
