ContactProject Description
Swiss Economics supports the SFOE in its work on the new Gas Supply Act. Against the background of the latest developments, the question arises as to whether the market area manager planned in the new law should take on new tasks in the area of security of supply and what consequences this would have for the unbundling requirements, governance and capitalisation of the market area manager.
