Klumpenrisiko
We are on an insane mission to find the real owners of the 10 biggest water power plants in Switzerland.
The ultimate goal of this project is a visualization that brings real ownership transparency to a complex and often intransparent economic sector.
In the end, we'd like to show which cantons and municipalities own what parts of power companies - and how they would be affected by a bankruptcy of the latter.
Methodology
- We take the water power plants as roots and go forth: Let's take Innertkirchen I as example
- Who maintain it? KWO
- Who owns the maintainer? BKW, EWB, etc.
- Who owns the owner of the maintainer? City of Berne, Canton of Berne, etc etc etc.
- etc.
Data
- All collected by ourselves from company websites and Wikipedia etc.

Energy of Production
Electricity and other power sources are central to the economic and political landscape of energy. We need to know where the energy comes from, even if it's the sun blazing on our own solar panels - and for that, we need open energy data. Connected with open data from other areas, like environmental and economic data, we have a real chance to impact the future of sustainable energy. This is a relatively unexplored area so far in the Swiss open data community, though several research projects have aggregated these kinds of datasets.
