1 Avec le support de: Swiss scenarios and the Swiss- Energyscope Platform ( Swiss energy transition: Understand to choose Prof D. Favrat, EPFL Energy Center

2 Why a new information platform and calculator? Starting points: weak knowledge about energy in the population (non experts) need to rationalize teaching in the different academic sections ( experts ) Hence the need for a calculator that can be adapted to both inspired by Mackay in UK (DECC) but adapted: - to Swiss situation - to be sequential (avoid the black box negative effect) - to account for the seasonal asymmetry

25 Conclusions European market completely unbalanced (only subsidies) Low prices of coal and hydro carbons, with depressed carbon market. In Switzerland swiss hydro and cogeneration producers are clearly disadvantaged Debates on nuclear safety and future prices hotter than ever Implies wrong signals to investors (for ex: hydro pump storage) and energy efficiency measures Generally positive comments regarding energyscope.ch including from abroad but too early to judge on impact. Early negative reactions from emotionally sensitive groups (global warming deniers, anti-wind mills, ultra-pro-nuclear)
