  • Basel area funding to continue until 2030

    Basel area funding to continue until 2030

    The Basel-Stadt energy package has proven to be an effective instrument for supporting energy-efficient renovations and the expansion of renewable energies. The current spending authorisation expires at the end of 2025. The cantonal government is therefore applying to the cantonal parliament for an extension of the programme for the years 2026 to 2030 with a funding volume of CHF 51.25 million.

    The future design of the funding measures is based on the 2022 energy planning report and includes new incentives in addition to the continuation of proven programmes. These include energy-related operational optimisation for residential buildings, subsidies for the 1:1 replacement of old heating systems, the regeneration of geothermal probes, bonuses for combined roof and façade renovations with photovoltaics and the promotion of charging infrastructure in multi-party buildings. Municipalities are also to be supported with certification as energy cities.

    Positive impetus for the economy and climate protection
    The energy package has seen high demand in recent years, particularly after the record year of 2022. The support measures provide economic impetus, from which small and medium-sized enterprises in particular benefit.

    An intercantonal comparison shows that the Basel-Stadt energy package has an above-average impact and makes a significant contribution to cantonal energy and climate policy. The cantonal government will report to the cantonal parliament on the utilisation of the funds and the CO₂ impact of the programme halfway through its term.

    With the planned extension, the Basel-Landschaft energy package remains a key instrument for climate protection and sustainable development in the canton of Basel-Landschaft.

  • Deep geothermal energy has great potential in Baselland

    Deep geothermal energy has great potential in Baselland

    Deep geothermal energy could potentially supply between 200 and 1800 gigawatt hours of usable heat potential per year in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. This corresponds to between 10 and 100 per cent of future energy requirements for space heating and hot water. This is the conclusion of the study Report on the potential of deep geothermal energy in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. It was commissioned by the Office for Environmental Protection and Energy and is based on Rolf Blatter’s postulate 2022/346.

    According to a press release from the canton, the actual potential depends on various technical and economic conditions and can therefore only be quantified more precisely with further exploration. Because Baselland is one of the most geologically diverse cantons, the number of situations that are suitable for geothermal utilisation is correspondingly large.

    No estimates of the potential of deep geothermal energy in the canton have been available to date. According to the information, the widespread use of near-surface geothermal energy with geothermal probes contributes around 100 gigawatt hours to the environmental heat utilised. With the new CO2 Act, the federal government will promote hydrothermal geothermal energy for heat supply from 1 January 2025.

  • Basel area wants to test Velohochbahn

    Basel area wants to test Velohochbahn

    The canton of Basel-Landschaft wants to expand its infrastructure for bicycles. Together with the Federal Roads Office ( FEDRO ), he is now starting the project of a bicycle high-rise, he writes in a message . The Veloweg is built as a separate building next to existing roads. The system is made of wood in a modular construction. It will also be equipped with photovoltaic modules.

    For this purpose, FEDRO has commissioned a study for the routing in the Basel area. With this project, it wants to examine how a higher-level cycle network along existing motorways can be integrated into the cantonal cycle route networks.

    The Basel government council wants to submit a corresponding proposal to the district administrator in the fourth quarter. If the cantonal parliament approves, the bicycle high-rise should be built between mid-2021 and mid-2022. It is to be put into operation before the opening of the Federal Wrestling and Alpine Festival in Pratteln in 2022 .
