Swissgrid operates the extra-high-voltage transmission grid in Switzerland. It manages power flows around the clock, provides ancillary services such as control energy to keep electricity supply and demand in balance, and runs two control rooms that monitor the entire Swiss transmission grid. Recent work includes the first use of a Static Synchronous Series Compensator in the Swiss transmission grid, at Innertkirchen, and the integration of photovoltaics into grid operation.

Swissgrid's counterparts are electricity system stakeholders, including federal, cantonal and communal authorities, with whom it holds regular discussions on topics such as the electricity agreement with the EU, security of supply and grid expansion. Its published materials include position papers, factsheets and consultation statements.

The company publishes news and media releases, and lists current vacancies alongside job alerts and a talent pool. It also published a 2026 media release on lower procurement costs in the first half of the year following a new imbalance energy price mechanism.
