This is 3.14 centimes per kilowatt hour (kWh) less than in the current year, according to the Electricity Commission (Elcom). Calculated over the whole year, an average household with a consumption of 4500 kWh will have to pay electricity costs of 1305 francs. This is 141 francs less than in 2024.
The tariff consists of the levy for grid usage, the energy tariff, the compensation for local authorities and the grid surcharge. According to Elcom, the grid costs for the typical household will fall from 12.71 to 12.18 centimes per kWh. This includes the costs for the winter reserve of 0.23 centimes.
The energy tariff will be 12 percent cheaper and will now cost 13.7 centimes per kWh. Charges to local authorities will remain stable at 1 centime and the grid surcharge at 2.3 centimes.
