The Cantonal Council of the Canton of Lucerne (parliament of a member state of the Swiss Confederation) enacted a total revision of the Cantonal Energy Act. After collecting more than the 3,000 required signatures, a popular referendum on the law was demanded so that all eligible citizens of the canton of Lucerne could vote on the adoption of the new energy law in 2018. In this referendum, the law was finally approved by a majority of votes and thus adopted.
