Discovering Simplon
Travelling remains difficult at the moment, especially if you want to cross your country’s borders. Throughout summer, we will be offering you a breath of fresh air as we take you on a journey of discovery through regions that are home to the facilities owned by Alpiq or in which we have a stake. And perhaps you will want to discover these places for yourself on your next trip?
Hydrogen: an "old" technology is taking a second run
Hydrogen is seen as a beacon of hope in the transformation of the energy system towards a climate-friendly energy supply. And things are moving forward, as the inauguration of the first hydrogen filling station in Eastern Switzerland in St.Gallen at the beginning of July shows. Right in the middle of it all: green hydrogen produced by Hydrospider (a joint venture of Alpiq, H2 Energy and Linde/PanGas) in Gösgen – the same place where research into hydrogen technology was conducted back in the 1990s.
Construction starts on the Hüscherabach small hydropower plant
Alpiq and the municipality of Rheinwald (GR) are once again collaborating to build a small hydropower plant. The construction work has just been launched and will last around 18 months. The new power plant will generate 6.1 million kWh of electricity a year from renewable energy sources, equivalent to the average annual consumption of 1,500 households.
Alpiq manages the largest battery storage facility in Switzerland
Alpiq is strengthening its leading position in asset management for customers: Alpiq will manage the largest, most powerful battery in Switzerland on behalf of MW Storage AG and offer its capacity on the ancillary services market to stabilise the transmission grid. The 20-MW battery storage facility will go into operation in the third quarter of 2020 in Brunnen in the Canton of Schwyz.
