Liquidity monitoring
In response to the crisis in the gas supply sector and resultant price increases on the gas and electricity markets, which also presented major challenges for Swiss energy providers, the Federal Act on Subsidiary Financial Aid to support Systemically Critical Companies in the Electricity Industry (FiRECA) was established to ensure security of electricity supply in Switzerland, even in the event of unforeseeable developments. The support is provided in the form of loans to ensure liquidity. Systemically critical companies must provide ElCom with the information and documents required to comply with FiRECA. ElCom produces a monthly supervisory report on these matters.
