Les prix de l’électricité vont baisser en moyenne de 10% en 2025
Original
For an average household that consumes 4,500 kWh of electricity per year, the annual 2025 bill will be CHF141 ($166) lower than in 2024, the regulator said.
A typical household will pay 29 centimes per kilowatt-hour (ct./kWh), which corresponds to a reduction of 3.14 ct./kWh, ElCom declared. This corresponds to an annual electricity bill of roughly CHF1,305.
There are several reasons for the lower rates. These include the fact that prices on the wholesale electricity market have stabilised slightly, albeit at a high level.
Prices sometimes vary considerably between grid operators. This is mainly due to major differences in energy supply. Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will also see their bills fall, Elcom said.
