The Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) wants to plan the technical and quantitative basis for the further development of Switzerland's energy strategy up to 2060. Under the project management of Prognos, the energy perspective work aims to set the course for a secure, sustainable and efficient energy future for Switzerland.
As part of the project, a total of three different scenarios for Switzerland's entire energy system are being developed:
In addition, various strategy variants are being calculated in the target scenario for electricity generation, with a particular focus on meeting electricity demand in the winter months.
The energy system modelling is used to derive the investments required to implement the desired strategies. Furthermore, the effects of the various scenarios on economic development are analysed, as are the distributional effects on different social groups.
The project is supported by an expert advisory group consisting of representatives from various federal offices and professional associations. The joint project is being carried out by TEP Energy GmbH, Infras AG, GWS, PSI, the University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland (OST) and Meteotest under the project management of Prognos.

The CCRI focuses on the implementation of a circular economy in European cities and regions. Prognos is supporting the initiative as a project partner in the associated Coordination and Support Office.
What will Switzerland look like in the future? A welfare state in a fair world or an energy guzzler in fortress Europe? We examined the potential impacts of different scenarios on greenhouse gas emissions.
Prognos is supporting the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of the Environment in organising, implementing and establishing the world's first trade exhibition for the climate adaptation industry.
A single heat day costs the German economy 431 million euros. Our study for the BMAS examines how preventive, climate-change-friendly occupational safety measures can help to limit the damage.
The transport forecast provides the technical basis for Austria’s strategic transport planning. Together with its partners, Prognos is responsible for designing and calculating the baseline forecast, as well as additional supporting scenarios for passenger and freight transport.
Prognos is assessing the potential for decarbonising thermal waste treatment through the use of resource-saving and energy-efficient CO₂ capture and processing technologies.
How effective are the measures proposed by Germany’s federal ministries for the upcoming climate protection programme? Prognos and its partners examined the feasibility of the planned climate protection measures and analysed their impact on the climate.
The network Klimaanpassung&Unternehmen.NRW (NKU) offers exchange, knowledge and market information on climate adaptation in North Rhine-Westphalia. Prognos is leading the network together with partners.
What is the status of the energy transition in Germany? Since 2012, Prognos has been monitoring the energy transition in Bavaria and Germany on behalf of the vbw.
Energy prices remain high, and the expansion of renewable energies continues to fall short of targets: this is shown by our 14th Energy Transition Monitoring report, which we compiled on behalf of the vbw.
We combine economic research and strategy consulting for sustainable decisions in politics, business and society. Our robust data, precise analyses and scientifically based findings enable fact-based progress – financially independent, politically neutral.
