BFE — Elektrische Anlagen mit einer Nennspannung von über 36 kV: Stationen

Published by Bundesamt für Energie · CH · Monthly

Grantedcommercial_use_with_attributionHealthy

Switzerland's register of HV and EHV stations (778 on 2026-09-26): name, type, owner as BFE records it, whether the owner holds it fully, and a point in LV95 with BFE's own precision flag. It publishes no capacity; it locates Swissgrid's and the DSOs' substations.

What is withheld, and why

Nothing is withheld. Values are served with the attribution the licence asks for: Bundesamt für Energie BFE – Elektrische Anlagen mit einer Nennspannung von über 36 kV. Keep it with any figure you show.

Every resource of the opendata.swiss package 'elektrische-anlagen-mit-einer-nennspannung-von-uber-36-kv' carries terms_by: open use, including commercial, provided the source is given. geodienste.ch's own offer page repeats it ('Freie Nutzung. Quellenangabe ist Pflicht.'). The platform's copyright clause exempts the geodata, which fall under the provider's terms.

notes
["Asset-only: no capacity values. Station types Unterwerk, Transformatorenstation, Schaltstation and Kraftwerk are substations; Uebergangsbauwerk (a cable to overhead-line transition) is a node. An unknown type is a rejection.","Owners as BFE records them. A station belongs to its owner's declared operator when the register names that owner unambiguously (Swissgrid, IWB, Groupe E, Valgrid, Axpo Grid AG, BKW, ewz, CKW, Repower, …); every other station ('Fremd', 'Autre', 'Gemeinschaft', joint owners such as 'AET / SES', industrial plants, abbreviations the register does not spell out) belongs to ch-other-owner, with the owner text in attributes.eigentuemer. eigentum_vollstaendig = false (131 stations) says the named owner does not own the station outright.","The id is each owner's own code (numbers, 'STA1504', GUIDs), unique across owners but for rare collisions (STA35 on 2026-09-26): a repeated id is qualified by its owner and marked identity_confidence = low.","Points in LV95 (EPSG:2056) as the WFS returns them; lagegenauigkeit 'ungenau' (79) is BFE's imprecise-location flag and becomes approximate. The layer has no voltage attribute; Swissgrid's names carry it ('Birr 220kV') and are left as names."]
