Insight into Swiss energy management and renewable energies for the Slovenian Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy

At the end of May, SECO organized a study visit to Bern and Western Switzerland for Slovenian experts in the area of environment, energy and climate. Thanks to exchanges with the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, the canton of Vaud, and the municipality of Saint-Prex (VD), the delegation gained important insights into local energy networks, their digitalization, and new energy planning tools at all administrative levels. The visit to Agroscope and the Solberry berry farm also provided an opportunity to learn about existing Swiss agri-photovoltaic systems in a scientific and agricultural context and to establish important contacts for future cooperation.

The Slovenian delegation and SECO representatives listen to explanations on the agri-photovoltaic system on Solberry farm by its owner Barbara Schwab Züger.
