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.

For the European Observation Network for Territorial Development and Cohesion (ESPON), we are investigating how regions can work together more effectively to protect the climate.
Our study identifies the key cost components for low-carbon blue and green hydrogen and calculates the cost of supplying hydrogen to industry.
The Republic of Austria promotes numerous energy efficiency measures. Prognos analysed these measures and drew up recommendations for further development.
To facilitate the transition to a climate-neutral economy, Prognos is supporting the European Commission in implementing the European Fair Transition Observatory (EFTO).
With Rail4Climate, the Climate and Energy Fund promotes capacity and efficiency improvements in the Austrian rail sector with a focus on digital operations control, data usage and automated maintenance. We support the project with an indicator-based evaluation system.
Prognos examined for the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor, Energy and Climate Protection of the State of Brandenburg what role CO2 capture, usage and storage could play in the state.
Prognos and bridgingIT developed a concept for future internal sustainability management for a customer in the municipal energy sector.
Prognos compared international industrial electricity prices for the Austrian electricity industry. Based on this analysis, we also developed recommendations for government instruments to reduce electricity costs.
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.
Flooded streets, dried-up rivers, broken asphalt: we analyse the effects of extreme weather events on transport infrastructure and the economy.
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.
