The completely revised Federal Energy Act was adopted by Parliament on 30 September 2016 and entered into force on 1 January 2018 after passing a referendum on 21 May 2017. This 30 September 2016 version of the Energy Act superseded the Energy Act of 1999, which in turn had replaced the Decree on Energy Use of 1991.

The completely revised Energy Act aims to ensure an economically and environmentally viable supply and distribution of energy, thrifty and efficient energy consumption and a transition towards renewable energy supply, particularly from local sources. The act defines non-binding targets for overall energy and electricity consumption for 2020 and 2035.

The act specifies the principles of feed-in of electricity, self-consumption, and the feed-in tariff system as well as investment grants related to PV, hydroelectricity and biomass. Special provisions are made for hydro-power and geothermal energy.

The act also specifies the ficing method, a grid surcharge which is capped at CHF 0.023 per kWh transmitted via the transmission grid; no feed-in tariffs will be granted to plants that come on-line after 31 Dec. 2023. The act also specifies exemptions and reimbursements in relation to the grid surcharge. The act confers the right to the government to issue directives regarding the energy consumption of goods produced in series; energy demand in buildings as well as supply; and self-consumption of commercial entities.

The act specifies the rules regarding measures for support and encouragement in line with the objectives of the Energy Act. The Confederation may undertake information campaigns; (further) education programs; research, development and demonstration activities; as well as supporting the utilization of energy and energy residual heat.

Ficing of the support measures is generally jointly provided by the Confederation and Cantons. Some of the ficing derives from a CO2-levy as specified in the CO2-Act. The act confers the right to enter into international agreements. Also, the Energy Act specifies the rules regarding monitoring, data flows, data protection and disclosure obligations.

Finally, enforcement, roles and responsibilities, as well as penalty provisions, are specified. Of the eight associated ordices that have been revised or newly issued, the following are most relevant to renewable energy: Energy Ordice, Ordice for the promotion of electricity production from renewable energies; CO2-Ordice; Ordice for the certificate of origin and disclosure of primary fuels for electricity generation.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
