The major achievements of the project to date, with a focus on the past year, can be summarized as follows. The SURE MCDA framework has been designed and tested at the second stakeholder workshop for evaluating Swiss energy transition pathways, revealing key trade-offs among
environmental, economic, socio-political, and resilience indicators. The first version of the SURE Game, «Energy Ensured», was released and integrated into the SURE survey by late 2024. The Adaptation Need Indicator (ANI) was finalized, allowing the evaluation of the legal and political aspects of the SURE pathways. The SURE modeling framework has been further enhanced, and all assumptions, definitions, and protocols have been documented in a publicly accessible repository. The quantification of the four pathway scenarios has been completed, and model interfaces for efficient interaction have been established. For the case studies, a system dynamics model was developed to assess Ticino’s energy transition, and an urban district heating planning tool was developed for Zurich. The integration of the SBB model with the SURE analysis framework was completed, with a focus on the connection between SBB and Swissgrid.
