Cando wins the «Master of Swiss Web 2026» with Swissgrid 24/7»

Best of Swiss Web honored the most outstanding web projects in Switzerland for the 26th time on April 16, 2026 at The Hall event location in Dübendorf. The industry celebrated a special evening with guests from the digital and communications industry.

The «Swissgrid 24/7» project by Cando for Swissgrid has won the race for the most prestigious award in the Swiss web industry. In a three-stage voting process, consisting of a jury of experts, readers' choice and live voting by the audience, the project prevailed against nine other high-caliber master candidates.

Transparency in the Swiss electricity grid

The jury justified its decision as follows: «Swissgrid 24/7 makes the processes in the Swiss electricity grid transparent and allows an almost real-time view of the current status of the electricity grid. The website visualizes the huge number of data points for employees with animations in a clear and concise way - a control center in your pocket. Despite the flood of data, it is easy to access different views and aspects quickly and intuitively. The challenging task has been solved very convincingly - the jury is impressed.»
