The new requirements for systemically important electricity companies are intended to limit the economic risks of these companies, as the Federal Council announced on Friday. He wants to expand the requirements for such companies by amending the Electricity Supply Act.

First and foremost, companies and their owners – the cantons and municipalities – are responsible. The Federal Council should be able to set minimum requirements for liquidity and equity if the measures taken by companies prove inadequate.

Eight companies would be affected by the measures desired by parliament, including Axpo, Alpiq and BKW. (SDA)
