Powertage 2024

4 - 6 June 2024 | Messe Zürich

Varied key topics of the past Powertage from 4-6 June 2024 at Messe Zürich

Renewable power supply

How do we resolve the conflicting goals?

If Switzerland is to achieve its energy and climate targets, it needs a massive expansion of domestic production from renewable energies. This expansion of solar and wind power must take place as soon as possible in order to meet the future increase in electricity demand due to the decarbonisation of the transport and heating sectors. How can we speed up the necessary procedures? And how can we simultaneously ensure that the scale of protection versus benefit is balanced for each project, in order to increase the chances of acceptance?

Security of supply in Switzerland

How do we accelerate the transformation of energy grids?

The expansion of winter production – especially with hydropower, alpine photovoltaics and wind power – is essential for reducing the risk of any shortages during the cold season and for reducing Switzerland’s dependence on other European countries for electricity imports. How do we successfully expand and modernise the Swiss network at all levels? And how do we create the necessary accelerated procedures and clear framework conditions?

Digitisation and artificial intelligence

How do we utilise the potential?

The energy supply is becoming increasingly decentralised and therefore more complex. We need digital technologies to handle this increasing complexity and ensure system stability. The new data collection options offer energy suppliers numerous new opportunities. How can we use machine learning and AI applications as tools to make the electricity supply even safer or to optimise the electricity trade?

Changing skills

How do we combine the strenghs of the different generations?

The transformation of the energy system is not only taking place on a technological level, but also has a significant impact on energy industry professionals. Modern technologies require new skills from the next generation of specialists. In order to meet these requirements, training and further education must be updated accordingly. At the same time, however, the know-how and extensive experience of experts are also in demand. So, how can we encourage the necessary exchange between generations?

Video impressions

From 4 to 6 June 2024, the Swiss electricity industry met for the tenth time at the Power Days at Messe Zürich. 150 of the leading providers presented their products, technologies and services from various areas of the electricity industry. Once again, over 2,000 industry participants came together to benefit from high-calibre specialist presentations, practical best-practice sessions and numerous opportunities to share knowledge and experiences.

Statements from key ypeakers 

A concentrated charge of experience exchange, knowledge and innovation. The main theme of this year's event was the transition to a sustainable energy system. The three specialist forums with keynote speeches, panel discussions and showcase projects brought together experts to discuss current developments and promising projects for a sustainable energy supply.
