  • The intention of the grid operators to generate winter power reserves for 2024 is driving up the electricity price.
  • Using the power grid now costs the average household 146 francs a year.
  • Compared to the current year (70 francs), this is more than double.

According to Swissgrid, the reason for the doubling of the transmission tariff is a price increase for the transmission grid and the costs for the winter electricity reserves.

92 francs are now due for the services of the network operator. In 2024, the compensation for the hydropower reserves and the reserve power plants will be added to this increased tariff. That costs the average consumer an additional 54 francs.
