Based on a new situation due to abandonment of the popular initiative and the approval of the Swiss Electricity Act, the association SSH is discussing the topic of the association’s future resilience and how a new budget target of CHF 500,000 can be achieved (marketing/advertising, develop new services and improve/expand old ones etc.). Ideas are discussed like “development of an electricity marketing for members / balancing energy market”, “Investment advice” (mediation between projects and investors) without competing with member services and in compliance with the articles of association.
Objective: Main objective of the workshop is to find solutions with regards to the main topics including: service provision, own operating company, visions for SSH, development & strengthening of the association, operating concept for office, achievement of significant increase of the yearly turnover (target of about CHF 500,000)
