Switzerland’s first local electricity market

A lighthouse project funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy paves the way for the future electricity supply.

The basic idea behind Quartierstrom was that locally produced electricity should be locally consumed. To this end, a local electricity market was built in the pilot region of Walenstadt, allowing the 37 participating households to buy and sell locally produced solar electricity in their neighborhood.

The project ended at the end of July 2020 with the publication of the final report.

Dowload of the final report.

With the follow-up project Quartierstrom 2.0 the local electricity market in Walenstadt continues in a modified form. The further progress of the project is reported on the german version of the Quartierstrom Website.
