New framework conditions for developing the network
The new Federal Act on the Conversion and Expansion of the Electricity Grid (Electricity Network Strategy) improves the framework conditions and thus the prerequisites for the optimisation and the necessary development of the electricity networks. The aim is to put electricity networks in place that meet demand within the required time frame. Most of the provisions of the new laws and ordinances entered into force on 1 June 2019.

The four key aspects of the electricity network strategy
- Guidelines on the optimisation and development of the Swiss electricity networks
- Optimisation of the approval procedure for electricity supply line projects
- Criteria and guidelines for decisions regarding the question of underground cables or overhead lines
- Raising the level of acceptance and transparency of supply line projects
