Media release of the “FDP.Die Liberalen” of the Canton of Zug
(13 December 2021) “FDP.Die Liberalen, Zug” is launching a national popular initiative for a secure electric power supply. The aim is to guarantee that Switzerland will have a self-sufficient electric power supply in line with its load by the year 2050. This means that security of supply must be guaranteed at all times, regardless of trading with other countries. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric power supply shortages, outages, grid damages and enormous economic losses.
