Document background
The Power Sales Agreement is a fundamental document in Switzerland's energy market, used to establish legally binding arrangements between power generators/sellers and purchasers. It is essential for both conventional and renewable energy projects, providing the commercial foundation for power trading and supply arrangements. The agreement must comply with Swiss federal energy legislation, including the Federal Energy Act (EnG) and the Federal Electricity Supply Act (StromVG), while also considering cantonal requirements. Typically used for medium to long-term power supply arrangements, it covers crucial aspects such as delivery obligations, pricing structures, grid access, metering, and regulatory compliance. The document is particularly important in the context of Switzerland's energy strategy 2050 and the country's transition to renewable energy sources.
