Electricity rate adjustment for 2024
Rates will rise again in 2024. The electricity bill for an annual consumption of 2,500 kWh (corresponding to a 4-room apartment) in Gland will rise from CHF 707.92 to CHF 821.09 in 2024, an increase of CHF 9.43 per month (excluding VAT). While energy prices will remain relatively stable, it is the increase in transmission costs and federal taxes with the introduction of the "electricity reserve", a tax to finance security of supply in winter, that will account for the lion's share of the rise. In addition, there will be the increase in the VAT rate, which comes into effect on January 1, 2024.

Single rate vs. double rate
If your meter doesn't differentiate between on-peak and off-peak hours, you'll be billed according to the single-rate principle, which is ideal if you live in an apartment without a water heater or electric heating. You can also, if you wish, submit a request to change or adapt your meter to benefit from the double rate.
A double rate, on the other hand, is recommended if you can use off-peak hours for more than a third of your consumption. To check that your meters distinguish between peak (HP) and off-peak (HC) hours, just take a look at your bill! If the words "Consumption HP/HC" or "Heating HP/HC" appear, you're entitled to the double rate. If not, ask for it.

Where does the electricity you use come from?
The electricity distributed by SEIC in 2023 comprises 82.36% renewable energies, the remainder being of nuclear origin. The renewable energies supplied are made up of :
- 75.04% hydropower from Swiss and European sources
- 1.32% solar energy
- 6.00% of electricity from renewable sources. This national support program is fed by the cost-covering feed-in remuneration (CRF) to which all electricity consumers in Switzerland contribute by paying the CRF supplement, which in 2023 was 2.3 cts/kWh.
