Swiss Competence Center of Electrical Infrastructure

SCCERs are the national competence center for energy research aiming to support the implementation of the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050 (ES2050) by transferring knowledge and technology among academic and industrial energy actors.

The Swiss Innovation Agency (Innosuisse) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) established them in 2014 for 3 years (Phase I) and their mandate was renewed in 2017 for 4 more years (Phase II).

SCCER-FURIES is the national competence center focused on the upgrading of the Swiss electrical infrastructure. It addresses the power grid-related challenges raised by the ES2050 by providing the grid operators with intelligence-enhanced planning, monitoring and operation tools.
