Ordinance on ensuring delivery capacities in the event of a serious shortage of natural gas

This Ordinance sets a minimum requirement of gas storage equivalent to at least 15% of the average Swiss annual consumption to the five regional gas network operators. The ordinance was last amended in 2024 to extend the obligation to 2026. It also specifies that the gas companies must ensure Switzerland is adequately supplied with natural gas from October to April.
