The prestigious Swiss energy prize Watt d’Or will be awarded for the 17th time in 2024 by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy(SFOE<\/a>). The award is presented in three categories: Renewable Energies, Energy Technologies and Energy-Efficient Mobility and the Buildings and Space category. According to a press release<\/a>, the award ceremony will take place on Thursday, 11 January at the Kursaal Congress Centre in Bern. The Watt d’Or trophy – a snow globe – will be presented to the winners by National Councillor Susanne Vincenz-Stauffacher.<\/p>\n

The 2024 winners in the Energy Technologies category are the energy supplier AEW Energie AG<\/a>, based in Aarau, together with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich(ETH<\/a>). They are jointly running a pilot project to find a smart solution for the electricity grid. The AEW grid will be “virtually” strengthened by up to 10 per cent without any physical expansion.<\/p>\n

In the Renewable Energies category, Cham Group AG<\/a> was honoured together with Andy Wickart Haustechnik AG<\/a>, Alfacel AG<\/a> and pom+Consulting AG<\/a>. A climate-neutral neighbourhood is being built in Cham that relies 100 percent on renewable energy.<\/p>\n

CLEMAP AG<\/a>, together with Otto Fischer AG<\/a> – both from Zurich – received the award in the Energy Efficient Mobility category. Together they developed cost-efficient charging infrastructures with solar charging, thus avoiding the need to expand the grid.<\/p>\n

The Knonau-Maschwanden-Mettmenstetten secondary school<\/a>, together with Pro-Energie GmbH<\/a> from Eschlikon TG, was honoured with the gold award in the Buildings and Space category. Owner Roger Balmer developed the intelligent Hybridbox energy centre. The school complex with five buildings and an indoor swimming pool is climate-neutral and, thanks to photovoltaic systems, heat pumps and combined heat and power generation, is 54 per cent self-sufficient and 70 per cent self-sufficient in electricity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
