Positive Bottom Line for Hydropower.
Accounting for 60 percent of total power production, hydropower is Switzerland’s most important energy source. And, under the strategy of the Federal Office for Energy, Environment, Traffic and Communications (UVEK), this looks likely to continue in future. Although hydropower is an environmentally benign means of generating power, some minor disadvantages result from its interference in nature. An international aid program has been set up to offset these.
