Public Tour of Energy Research

The PSI Visitor Center is part of the "Helle Nacht" event on November 2, 2024. https://www.industrieweltaargau.ch/helle-nacht. Visit our exciting exhibition from 14:00 to 18:00.

From 14:30 to 16:00, we offer a public tour of the Energy System Integration Platform. After a brief introduction to the innovative research topics at PSI, we will take you on a journey to the model city ESIVille. Here, you will experience firsthand how the residents of ESIVille are transitioning to renewable energy. Join them on their journey and help balance the city's energy system!

The tour includes interactive elements, making it well-suited for a younger audience.
