Electricity production in Switzerland rose by 13.5% in 2023, reaching a new record of 72.1 billion kWh, reported the Federal Office of Electricity (FOE).

Production from both hydropower plants (+21.7%) and nuclear plants (+1%) was higher. Hydro (56.6%) and nuclear (32.4%) made up 89% of the total. The remaining 11% came from thermal and renewable sources.

The boost in production allowed Switzerland to export more electricity than it consumed. Imports of 27.5 billion kWh were offset by exports of 33.9 billion kWh, netting 6.4 billion kWh. This represents a significant turn around from 2022 when Switzerland imported 3.4 billion kWh more electricity than it exported.

However, despite overall net exports across the year, Switzerland remained a net importer during the winter months (-0.6 billion kWh) – Swiss consumption typically exceeds generation capacity in winter as production falls and demand rises.

Across 2023, Switzerland sold CHF 4.7 billion of electricity and imported CHF 3.7 billion, resulting in a positive trade balance of nearly CHF 1 billion. In 2022, the same figure was CHF 71 million.

I'd be fine with seeing just some modest progress towards more nuclear, but we're going the other way as plants get retired.  I had some thought that PERHAPS some of the more sentient "climate change" folks might start a real push for nuclear, but with few exceptions, that hasn't happened, which, to me, is another indication they want something that simply cannot be done.

Let's not confuse anyone with truth and facts, OK?

No heat here. That stopped in February. AC is always on.
