Association / Federation

Bern, Switzerland

Geothermie-Suisse is the umbrella organisation uniting geothermal energy stakeholders in Switzerland. The association is committed to ensuring that geothermal energy is recognised as a renewable, indigenous and CO2-neutral source of energy, and helps to develop it into an important pillar of Switzerland's heat and electricity supply, cooling and energy storage systems. For this purpose, the association acts as a hub providing information and advice, promoting the knowledge sharing and fostering dialogue between the various stakeholders.

About me

I have specialist skills in the field of efficient and renewable energy sources thanks to my diverse background: operational responsibilities on an industrial site (6 years), university experience focused on the city (10 years), work in a private office engaged in the ecological transition (4 years) and then co-director of Geothermie-Schweiz since 2022. These experiences have enabled me to carry out numerous studies and to gain a comprehensive overview of Switzerland's energy metabolism, its actors and its main challenges. As a member of several associations and cooperatives, I am also involved in activities promoting participative management.
