SCCER-SoE - Swiss Competence Center for Energy Research - Supply of Energy
The Swiss Competence Center for Energy Research – Supply of Electricity (SCCER-SoE) relies on the expertise of several Swiss scientific institutions (universities and research centres), industrial companies, and federal agencies.
The aim of the SCCER-SoE is to carry out innovative research in the areas of geo-energy and hydropower to support the development and application of the “Energy Strategy 2050”, a long-term policy which states the Swiss future energy perspectives.
The SCCER-SoE activities are financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Commission for Technology and Innovation.
