BKW Power Grid: The electricity grid is the backbone of the energy transition
The energy transition cannot succeed without modifications to the electricity grid. We are building the distribution system of the future with and for our customers. Large-scale alpine installations come with particular challenges, as most of them are being planned in uninhabited areas where there is almost no grid infrastructure.
BKW is working closely with the planners of alpine solar installation projects to facilitate as much solar energy as possible and to use the existing grid capacity in the high-voltage network to the full. However, the accelerated upgrading of the electricity grids affects all grid levels. A uniform process for all segments and grid levels and through all authorities would be an efficient solution.
The distribution system has to be upgraded to accommodate all the newly constructed photovoltaic systems, e-mobility charging stations and heat pumps. New solar installations and new hydroelectric power plants are currently seen as essential parts of the energy transition – we need to think of new distribution systems in the same way.
