Electricity prices in Switzerland set to decrease next year

Electricity prices in Switzerland are expected to decrease next year, according to a survey conducted by the Association of Swiss Electricity Companies (AES). Out of the 83 participating suppliers, 75 are “definitely” or “probably” planning a reduction.

Tariff data from 52 companies, covering about 35% of Swiss supply, indicates that prices for H4 homes with five rooms (consumption of 4,500 kWh per year) will decrease by a median of around 8% in 2025, the AES announced in a press release on Wednesday.

For H2 households with four rooms (2,500 kWh per year), the median tariffs are expected to drop by 10%. Business customers should also see lower prices. Additionally, 31 companies responded to the AES qualitative questions, with the majority also predicting lower rates for next year. Of these, 23 forecast a decrease, six an increase, and two expect their rates to remain stable.
