- The Swiss energy transition / Energiewende in der Schweiz (automatic translation)
Switzerland, like many other countries, is revising its energy strategy with a view to a transition towards a more rational use of energy, a more dynamic development of renewable energies and a progressive exit from nuclear energy.
