The Gösgen Nuclear Power Plant (KKG), located between Olten and Aarau, is a cornerstone of the electricity supply in the northern Mittelland. With approximately 600 employees, the KKG generates about 8 billion kWh of electricity annually, thereby covering approximately 13% of Switzerland’s electricity demand.

As Switzerland’s first 1,000-megawatt-class nuclear power plant, the KKG has been in operation since 1979. The KKG holds an indefinite operating license and reliably produces low-emission electricity. Since it began operations, net electricity production has increased by nearly 17%. Thanks to ongoing modernization and refurbishment projects, plant safety has been continuously improved. At the same time, electricity production costs have fallen from 6.3 rappen per kWh (1980) to 4.3 rappen per kWh (2021) —including provisions for decommissioning and waste disposal.
