Réseau HT Lausanne Nord — High-voltage distribution network
Lausanne, canton de Vaud
Moderate action, warming reaches about 2°C
Watch closely
Climate exposure score
This is how exposed Réseau HT Lausanne Nord is to climate-related disruption in a world that warms by 2°C. A higher number means more disruption to output, more maintenance, or more risk to the structure itself.
Exposure is expected to peak around 2040.
What is driving the risk
Heatwave frequency
+41 by 2050Heatwaves push line loading and cooling demand to their limits together.
Precipitation extremes
+27 by 2050Storms and heavy rain raise the risk of localised outages.
Drought stress
+14 by 2050Dry ground slightly reduces buried cable cooling performance.
Temperature variability
+27 by 2050Frequent temperature swings accelerate ageing of overhead lines.
Projected exposure, 2025 to 2050
Each line shows how exposure changes if global warming follows that path.
What this means for you
Peak-day heat is the dominant risk: line capacity falls just as cooling demand rises, creating tight margins on a handful of days each summer. Targeted reinforcement of the most loaded feeders is the practical fix.
