2Climate change impact on hydrology - long-term shifts in precipitation patterns, snowmelt timing, and Rhine River flow volumes could reduce generation capacity and increase volatility in output
3Energy market liberalization and regulatory changes in Switzerland and Germany, including potential price caps, windfall taxes on generation profits, or mandated grid investments
4Expansion of intermittent renewables (solar, wind) in Germany and Switzerland depressing wholesale baseload electricity prices during high-generation periods, reducing hydropower margins
5Retail customer attrition to competitors in liberalized markets, particularly in Germany where switching rates are higher and competition from national utilities is intense
6Capex requirements for aging hydropower infrastructure - plants require ongoing modernization and environmental compliance investments, with potential for cost overruns
