OKElectricity Act – Working together for a secure electricity supply
After months of debate, the Swiss parliament passed the "blanket decree" at the end of September - a typical Swiss compromise that reconciles many concerns. This Electricity Act provides the instruments to move forward with the generational project of "restructuring the energy system". At the heart of the revised law is the increase in the expansion targets for electricity generation from renewable energies. Parliament is thus signalling its clear commitment to the rapid expansion of renewable energy production. Solar and wind energy in particular have the potential to cover a large part of the additional electricity demand in the long term due to the decarbonisation of the energy system and the gradual phasing out of nuclear energy. The Swiss parliament has also made a clear commitment to hydropower and enshrined the Round Table's expansion projects in law. A referendum was held against the law and the people will now vote on it on 9 June.
The Association of Swiss Electricity Companies (VSE) and aeesuisse have formed an alliance: Alpiq is a founding member together with Swissolar, suissetec, Axpo Group and BKW AG, and other companies and associations in the sector are also committed to the blanket decree. Alpiq is clearly committed to the Electricity Act: it strengthens the expansion of renewable energies and paves the way for more winter electricity. It is now up to all of us to do the necessary persuasive work. Together with partners, Alpiq has developed important projects for winter energy and storage volumes, which - thanks to the Electricity Act - can be realised within a few years and thus make an important contribution to security of supply in Switzerland.

Alpiq fully supports the "Electricity Act"
«Switzerland needs more electricity. This makes projects such as the Gornerli, which alone could achieve a third of our targets for expanding winter production, all the more necessary.»
Amédée Murisier, Head of Switzerland
«The accelerated expansion of electricity production with renewable energies will enable Alpiq to resolve the current dilemma between security of supply and sustainable energy production, which is fundamental to the decarbonisation of numerous sectors, more quickly.»
Karin Manser, Sustainability Manager
«Thanks to the Electricity Act, important storage capacities such as the Gornerli can be better realised. This provides additional winter electricity that we can call on in the event of a shortage."»
Beat Imboden, Managing Director of Grande Dixence SA
«The Electricity Act was a tough struggle for years to achieve a balanced majority. The Electricity Act will significantly improve the framework conditions for the expansion of renewable energies and for strengthening the security of electricity supply.»
Christian Oswald, Public Affairs Expert
«The Electricity Act lays the foundation for our future electricity supply. The urgently needed expansion of winter production, as initiated with the Solar Express for Alpine PV systems, can thus be continued on a sustainable basis..»
Frédéric Zufferey, project manager for alpine solar projects
«In order to achieve the goal of a CO2-free Switzerland by 2050, it is essential to expand our renewable energy production park. The Electricity Act improves the balanced consideration of energy and environmental interests, thereby increasing the chances of realising the various projects.»
