Swiss nuclear power plants – pillars of supply security

Nuclear power plants are a cornerstone of Switzerland's electricity supply: they safely and reliably provide around one-third of the electricity produced in Switzerland – around the clock, in summer and winter alike. With production costs of between four and six cents per kilowatt hour, nuclear energy is one of the most cost-effective methods of electricity production in Switzerland.
