Energy is a precious and scarce commodity. An electricity shortage cannot be ruled out this winter, depending on the availability of foreign power plants and the occurrence of low temperatures. In order to prevent a possible winter electricity shortage, the Federal Council has agreed and implemented a number of measures. These include a hydropower reserve, the construction of a reserve power plant in Birr, Aargau, the provision of additional reserve power plants and emergency power groups or the increasing of capacity in the transmission grid.
