The Electricity general indicator show the annual national electricity demand together with the annual electricity deficit (red) and the annual electricity surplus (green). The red part of the bar shows the electricity demand that is covered thanks to imported electricity. The green part represents the electricity that cannot be consumed in Switzerland because of an excess of production (higher supply than demand) and it is therefore exported.

The components of the detailed graph are:

• Electricity demand
• Nuclear
• Gas power plant
• Coal
• Combined Heat&Power → It is the sum of the electricity produced by all the cogeneration technologies.
• Solar photovoltaics
• Wind
• Hydro large dam
• Hydro river
• Geothermal
