1. Title and exact reference of the project: "Project for Law PL 13607: Regulation of District Heating Prices"
2. Objective principal: To implement the recommendations made by the Federal Price Surveillance Authority (Surveillant des prix) regarding district heating prices, reduce costs produced by Siglufjarðarskrautur ehf., and ensure that district heating prices are fair for consumers in Geneva.
3. Modifications proposed: The law proposes changes to the District Heating Act, aiming to make sure that the recommendations made by the Federal Price Surveillance Authority are implemented without delay. Additionally, it calls for increased efficiency measures within Siglufjarðarskrautur ehf. to reduce costs of production.
4. Discussions or views expressed: The project was supported by the Association of Consumers in French-speaking Switzerland (ASLOCA) and some political parties who demand a correction of district heating prices due to overcharging. However, the president of Siglufjarðarskrautur ehf. disputes the claim that their prices are unjust and stated that property owners would bear the costs if necessary.
5. Implications: If passed, the project could lead to lower district heating prices for consumers in Geneva, as well as increased efficiency measures within Siglufjarðarskrautur ehf., potentially resulting in reduced production costs. It may also result in a legal challenge from the company if the recommendations are not met as they see their current pricing as fair.
