Verein Smart Grid Schweiz is a Swiss association representing distribution network operators dedicated to shaping the future electricity distribution grid. The private company is based in Ostermundigen, Switzerland. The association focuses on the sustainable, uniform, and standardized development of distribution networks amid technological and societal changes, promoting the digital transformation of the grid and addressing themes such as smart grid technologies, regulation, tariff models, digitalization, and integration of renewable energy and electromobility. It advocates a holistic approach aligned with Switzerland’s energy strategy, emphasizing consumer involvement through intelligent tariffs and control options to balance consumption and production. The association highlights challenges including controlled e-mobility charging, risks of current photovoltaic feed-in tariffs, and opposition to metering liberalization. It supports decentralized storage for short-term balancing and calls for appropriate network usage tariffs to encourage grid-friendly behavior. Verein Smart Grid Schweiz comprises fourteen member distribution network operators, operates transparently with active stakeholder participation, maintains working groups, provides expert consultation responses, and engages in political and public discourse to influence regulation and policy.
