  • Electricity prices are likely to fall in the coming year.
  • This is according to a survey of electricity companies.
  • 75 of the 83 participating electricity suppliers state that they are certain or likely to lower their prices.

Electricity prices will fall in the coming year. The majority of electricity companies expect this. The reasons for this are the easing of prices on the European electricity markets and lower costs for domestic electricity reserves.

In a survey conducted by the Association of Swiss Electricity Companies (VSE) among its members, 75 out of 83 participating electricity suppliers stated that they are certain or likely to lower their electricity prices in 2025. The VSE wrote this on Wednesday.

According to specific tariff information from 52 energy supply companies, which together account for around 35 percent of the Swiss supply, the electricity tariffs of these electricity suppliers will fall by an average of around 8 percent in 2025 for H4 household customers (4- to 5-room apartment with electric stove, tumble dryer). The tariffs for H2 household customers (4- to 5-room apartment with electric stove) will fall by an average of 10 percent.
