Swissgrid verdoppelt Tarife 2024 wegen Winterstromreserve

Die Winterstromreserven treiben den Strompreis 2024 massiv nach oben. Zusätzlich zu höheren Netzkosten verrechnet Netzbetreiber Swissgrid erstmals die Kosten für die Winterreserven. Den Durchschnittshaushalt mehr als doppelt soviel wie 2023. #Swissgrid #news

Winterstromreserven treiben Strompreis nach oben

Die Winterstromreserven treiben den Strompreis 2024 weiter nach oben. Zusätzlich zu höheren Netzkosten verrechnet der staatliche Übertragungsnetzbetreiber Swissgrid erstmals die Kosten für die Winterreserven. Den Durchschnittshaushalt kostet das zusätzliche 146 Franken im Jahr, wie Swissgrid am Mittwoch mitteilte. #Swissgrid #news

Good news on #electricity in #Switzerland: The #reservoir⁠s are still well filled and are being used at a normal rate for this time of year. The #energy #imports in December have decreased to the point of starting minor(!) #exports in the past days.

The latest #SwissGrid #EnergyData added a bit more end user #consumption to October, but so far it looks like there were real #EnergySavings that increased over October. Or there are extremely late reports. What matters are the reservoirs.

Schweiz tappt bei Energie-Einsparungen immer noch im Dunklen

Die Schweizer Bevölkerung soll mit einem neuen Online-Portal über die Energieversorgungslage des Landes informiert werden. Allerdings ist die Datenlage alles andere als gut. Die aktuellen Einsparungen beim Strom- und Gasverbrauch können derzeit nicht verlässlich gemessen werden. #Swissgrid #news

Instead of saving #energy, some of #Switzerland’s consumption reports have simply been delayed so much that #SwissGrid’s latest data always suggests fresh savings.

And while we #import #electricity every #winter (currently 6× as much as the reserve #PowerPlant in #Birr could produce), some probably assume that we would only import the surplus energy at night. However, a closer look at the #EnergyData shows that substantial amounts are also imported during the day, especially over noon.

Laut ENTSO-E importiert die #Schweiz bereits 5× soviel #Energie (1.3 GW), als die 8 #GasTurbinen in #Birr produzieren könnten (250 MW). Und die «Einsparungen» beim Verbrauch, die es nach den aktuellen #SwissGrid Daten im Oktober gab, beruhen vermutlich genau wie die im September gemeldeten nur auf bemerkenswert grossen Verzögerungen der Verbrauchmeldungen.

Bevor wir jetzt Turbinen abgeben, sollten wir vielleicht erst einmal die Situation hier vor Ort unter Kontrolle zu bekommen.

After #Switzerland’s hope of #energy savings in September has vanished into thin air, we can expect that also the savings in October, which are still visible at the moment, are really only a sign of severely delayed #consumption #reports at #SwissGrid.

A warm and rainy autumn helped fill #reservoir⁠s and keep energy #imports low, but the latter are rising sharply right now according to ENTSO-E. We are importing now 5× as much #electricity as the reserve #PowerPlant’s gas turbines could produce.

The biggest challenge for a #Swiss #EnergyData Hub will probably be obtaining timely #data.

While ENTSO-E publishes #Switzerland’s total #electricity consumption (including pumped storage) with a delay of a couple of hours, it takes #SwissGrid more than 6 weeks to publish the full figures for end-user consumption. And that’s what we need in order to know whether the #energy was consumed or stored.

In times of a looming energy crisis that requires fast decisions, that’s less than ideal.
