2025 rates
Downward adjustment of electricity rates 2025
The electricity bill for an annual consumption of 2,500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) - corresponding to a 4-room apartment - will fall from CHF 821.09 in Gland in 2024 to CHF 771.04 in 2025, representing a reduction of CHF 4.17 per month (excluding VAT).
With transmission costs remaining relatively stable, the adjustment comes from a fall in energy costs, as well as a reduction in the "electricity reserve", a federal tax that finances security of supply in winter.
The overall price of electricity is made up of the delivery charge (stamp), the price of energy and federal, cantonal and municipal taxes.
Compare single and double rates
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.

By completing this form, you agree to be billed at the double rate. On receipt of this form, a SEIC specialist will contact you to adapt your meter so that peak/off-peak consumption can be calculated.
Important: the specialist will intervene within 2 weeks of receipt of the form. All modifications to the electrical panel must be carried out before SEIC's intervention and are at your expense.

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.
