Abstract
Externalities in the energy sector are the reason for inefficient ressource use and increasing environmental damages. To strengthen market forces and to improve competitiveness of clean and/or renewable energy systems, requires the implementation of the polluter-pays-principle. For Switzerland, external costs of energy production and consumption are determined for 1993. The resulting estimates represent the state of the art at the time being. Energy-price-adders are derived from these external costs, providing an instrument for easily taking into account external costs within cost/benefit analyses for energy investments. In Switzerland, Federal and Cantonal authorities are supposed to apply or at least take into account these energy-price-adders if they are up to invest into energy-consuming infrastructures. It is shown, that the application of the determined Swiss energy-price-adders renders an earth probe-heating system for a tenement competitive with respect to oil heating. (orig.)
