Document background
Physical Power Purchase Agreements in Switzerland are essential instruments for securing long-term electricity supply arrangements between power generators and consumers or utilities. These agreements are particularly relevant in today's energy market where organizations seek to secure reliable power supply while potentially meeting sustainability goals. The document is used when parties require physical delivery of electricity, rather than financial settlement, and must comply with Swiss energy regulations, including the Federal Energy Act and Federal Electricity Supply Act. A Physical Power Purchase Agreement typically includes detailed provisions for delivery specifications, metering arrangements, grid access, pricing mechanisms, and regulatory compliance requirements. It's particularly important in contexts involving renewable energy projects, industrial power supply, or utility-scale electricity procurement within the Swiss market.
