Energy Policy

Switzerland's energy policy is designed to supply the energy the country needs while making it less dependent on fossil fuels and thereby also less dependent on other countries. At the same time, CO2 emissions are to be reduced and the climate targets of the Paris Agreement achieved. The policy measures decided upon were to reduce energy consumption, increase energy efficiency, promote renewable energies and phase out the use of nuclear power.
