en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Switzerland

This sentence states a specific national deadline that Swiss authorities do not set.

Official federal sources say Switzerland's current policy is:

• no new nuclear power plants may be built, but
• existing plants may remain in operation as long as they are safe.

The Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications says exactly that: "Existing nuclear power plants can remain in operation as long as they are safe." The Swiss Federal Office of Energy likewise states that no legal time limit has been set for operating Swiss nuclear plants.

So the article's claim that the country "plans" to phase them out by 2044 is incorrect: there is no fixed 2044 phase-out date in Swiss law or current official policy.

This table conflicts with official Swiss electricity statistics.

The Swiss Federal Office of Energy's 2020 fact sheet reports total electricity production of 69.9 billion kWh in 2020, broken down as:

• Hydropower: 40.6 billion kWh
• Nuclear: 23.0 billion kWh
• Conventional thermal and renewable power plants: 6.3 billion kWh
• Total: 69.9 billion kWh

That means the article's table is incorrect in both its labeling and its values:

• a reported total of 200.79 billion kWh is about three times the official Swiss total;
• the source-by-source values (for example Hydro 113.04 and Nuclear 68.67) also do not match official Swiss production figures.

So this is not a small rounding issue — the table's numbers are incompatible with the official 2020 national electricity statistics.

The article mixes up total energy consumption with electricity.

Official Swiss electricity statistics show wind generation of about 150 GWh in 2022. Official overall energy statistics show Switzerland's total final energy consumption in 2022 was 765,070 TJ, which equals about 212,500 GWh.

Using those official totals:

• 150 GWh / 212,500 GWh ≈ 0.07%

So wind power was not 0.3% of total energy consumption in 2022. A figure around 0.2%–0.3% would fit much better as a share of electricity generation/consumption, not of the country's total energy consumption.

This sentence gets the timeline wrong.

Official Swiss government sources say that in June 2021 the Federal Council approved the draft law / message for a Federal Act on a Secure Electricity Supply from Renewable Energy Sources. That was a proposal, not final passage.

The same official materials state that:

• Parliament adopted the act in autumn 2023, and
• the Swiss people approved it on 9 June 2024.

So it is incorrect to say that the legislation "was passed" in 2021. What happened in 2021 was the government's approval of the draft, not enactment.

This sentence misstates the levy's starting rate.

Swiss government sources say the CO2 levy was introduced in 2008 and was initially set at CHF 12 per tonne of CO2. It was increased in later stages and reached CHF 120 per tonne in 2022.

So the article is wrong to say the tax was "originally CHF 96". CHF 96 was a later rate, not the original one.

This repeats the same timeline error elsewhere in the article.

Official Swiss policy does not set a legal 2044 deadline for nuclear shutdown. Federal sources say that while new nuclear plants are banned, existing plants can continue operating as long as they are safe. The Swiss Federal Office of Energy also states that no legal time limit has been fixed for operating Swiss nuclear power plants.

So presenting 2044 as an official phase-out deadline is incorrect.

The number shown here is incompatible with official Swiss energy statistics.

In the Swiss Federal Office of Energy's 2020 energy balance, the final consumption of crude oil is listed as 0. Switzerland's energy use is recorded mainly under petroleum products, not direct final consumption of crude oil. So a claim of 80,300,000 barrels per day of Swiss crude-oil consumption is not just slightly off — it is fundamentally inconsistent with the official national energy balance.

For scale, 80.3 million barrels per day would be close to total global oil consumption, not the consumption of a single country the size of Switzerland.
