Recommender Tool
An interactive decision-support tool helping municipalities and energy communities evaluate and prioritize renewable energy measures for their local context.
About the Tool
The SWEET EDGE Recommender Tool is a web-based application designed to support local decision-makers — from municipal energy managers to community planners — in identifying the most suitable renewable energy technologies and deployment strategies for their specific geographic, social, and economic context.
Users input key parameters about their community (size, climate zone, existing infrastructure, budget) and receive tailored recommendations with cost-benefit estimates, CO₂ impact, and implementation pathways.
Access the Recommender Tool
Open the prototype in a new browser tab to explore recommendations for local renewable energy planning.
Launch Tool →How It Works
Choose your municipality
Select a Swiss municipality to generate a local energy profile using available data on buildings, consumption, emissions and renewable energy potential.
Understand the current situation
Explore maps, statistics and visualisations to identify key energy challenges, priority areas and opportunities for local action.
Explore future pathways
Test different technologies and development scenarios, then compare their potential effects on the energy mix, emissions and the municipality's future energy system.
