About
Founded in 2023, Grengiols-Solar is a renewable energy company headquartered in Sion, Switzerland specializing in Solar.
Grengiols-Solar is a pioneering alpine solar installation project located at 2000-2500 meters elevation in the Saflischtal valley of Upper Valais. The project aims to produce approximately 150 gigawatthours annually, with roughly 43% of production occurring in winter. This is achieved through strategic coordination with the Chummensee hydroelectric storage facility, allowing summer solar electricity to be converted into winter power. The project increases Switzerland's winter electricity supply share from 28% to 47% regionally and reduces energy import dependency. Environmental considerations and alpine agriculture are prioritized. Public inquiry was conducted June-July 2024, with building permits submitted April 15, 2024.
