Provisions in detail

Summary of grid issues

Connection to the grid

Grid operators are obligated to connect producers of electricity to the grid. Connection is to be carried out in a non discriminatory manner. Electricity from renewable energy sources is not given priority. The principality of Liechtenstein operates an autonomous distribution grid, however for the connection of a plant directly to the transmission grid, terms and conditions of the TSO Swissgrid apply. 

Statutory provisions

  • EMG (Elektrizitätsmarktgesetz - Electricity Market Act)
  • EMV (Elektrizitätsmarktverordnung - Electricity Market Regulation)
  • TBB (Technische Betriebliche Bestimmungen - Technical operational provisions)
