Swiss Federal Office of Energy

The Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) serves as the national competence center for energy supply and consumption. It develops federal policies, fostering innovation through research and cleantech programs like SWEET. The SFOE compiles energy statistics, guiding strategic decisions on national production, distribution, and usage.

Established as a federal entity, the SFOE arose from the need for a centralized body to manage Switzerland's energy landscape. Its mandate reflects the nation's commitment to a secure, economically viable, and environmentally sound energy future, providing the framework for energy planning and regulation.

The SFOE's work benefits the Swiss population, industry, and cantonal governments by striving for a sustainable and efficient energy system. It aims to reduce consumption, promote renewables, and enhance efficiency. This ensures Switzerland's energy independence and protection, envisioning a resilient, responsibly managed national energy supply.
