The Swiss Post is a large electricity producer. “The Post will build on all of the buildings with a photovoltaic system,” says spokeswoman Jacqueline Bühlmann. “The prerequisite for this is that we can build a system with a payback period of under twenty years.” The company operates on its buildings already in 17 new solar plants. The largest is the Mülligen on the letter distribution center of zürich -, further on to the distribution centres in Härkingen, SO, Frauenfeld, TG, and Eclépens VD.
The Post with your solar offensive not alone. The retailer, Coop has already been installed at more than 40 locations solar cells and want to take in the next few years, “new installations,” as spokeswoman for Marilena Baiatu says. The SBB today 12 plants are in operation and want to produce according to the spokesman Reto Schärli by 2030 on roofs of railway facilities annually 30 gigawatt-hours of solar electricity for households. The food company Nestlé’s has solar installations on the roofs of its Nespresso factories in Orbe, VD, Avenches, VD, and Romont FR.
The development at the Swiss company reflects the global Trend towards the Development of renewable sources of electricity. Until 2024, the installed capacity is expected to increase by 50 percent. This is the International energy Agency (IEA) writes in its latest forecasts about the development of electricity from solar, Wind, water and biomass. It is based mainly on data from state energy agencies. The increase is, according to the IEA particularly large in the case of companies set up on the roofs of their factories, solar plants. These plants are worth more than small installations.
the sun sets at the most to
compared To the last report a year ago, the forecast was increased by 14 percent. This is in particular due to improved prospects in China and Europe. Already in the coming year, worldwide capacity for energy production from sun and Wind should be from the hydroelectric power installed. The solar energy sets at the most. By 2024, the IEA expects a two and a half times higher production capacity. The reason for this is that the solar panels would be cheaper and therefore more attractive. This is especially true in China, which alone will be 40 percent of the growth. But also in Europe, the USA, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa more solar plants to be built. The Numbers are according to industry experts, more careful calculations.
Rainer Meier from the electricity producer Axpo shares the assessment of the IEA. It also applies to Switzerland. “With the Expansion and optimisation of hydroelectric power and Photovoltaic in Switzerland can be faster for large quantities of Renewable assemble.” Axpo did the shopping with the purchase of the French photovoltaic specialists Urbasolar in this year, the Knowledge, in order to realise a Europe-wide large facilities, even in Switzerland, if the conditions are right. “These systems are a decentralised supply of electricity and contribute to security of supply,” says Meier. The competitor Alpiq it looks similar. “Solar will play increasingly a role for the Decarbonisation”, writes the company.
coal remains in the first place
Renewable sources are secure, according to the IEA 2024 30 percent of the electricity production. They are behind only coal, but Gas, from which almost a quarter of the electricity is produced. According to IEA, the electricity production from coal and Gas to 2024 is expected to increase, however, significantly less than the renewable energies. The share of nuclear power remains, according to the IEA until 2024 stable at just under 10 percent.
the water power remains, despite the solar boom is the most important source for renewable electricity. Although the sun and the Wind are expected to double their production in five years, contribute 2024 wind power plants is only 7 and solar panels, only 5 percent of the world’s electricity production, says the IEA.
The largest growth of renewable energy in China followed by the European Union. Behind the United States and India, is expected to double its installed capacity by 2024, lie. Crucial to the growth rates of the conditions are according to the IEA, say the subsidies are there for the plants.
The continuing high increase of the capacity in Europe has to do with that, according to the IEA, the countries onthe the residue expansion targets of the EU want to catch up by 2020, and progress towards even higher targets for 2030, aspire to. Similar is true for China. The global potential is much greater. According to IEA, 2024 to be used, despite this boom, only 6 percent of the potential areas for solar panels.
