Strompreise 2025: Significant Reductions Ahead
Strompreise 2025: Understanding the Upcoming Changes
The strompreise 2025 report indicates that Swiss electricity prices will see a significant reduction. With an expected median drop of around 10% next year, typical households will pay approximately 29 Rappen per kilowatt-hour (kWh), saving about 141 Swiss Francs on their annual bill.
Why Are Prices Decreasing?
- Stabilization in the wholesale electricity market
- Lower costs for winter reserves
- Decreased capital interest rates for grid services
The report attributes these reductions to falling wholesale prices, now around 90 Euro/MWh compared to 150 Euro/MWh last year. Various regions will experience differing tariff reductions based on local production and procurement strategies.
Regional Variations in Tariffs
- Luzern: ~7% decrease
- Bern (BKW): ~6% decrease
- Freiburg (Groupe E): 11.2% decrease
- Aargau (AEW Energie): 14% decrease
- Luzern (CKW): 30% decrease
- Basel (IWB): No change
- Basel (Primeo Energie): 1% decrease
Are Future Increases Likely?
Experts, including Christina Marchand from ZHAW, believe price reductions are sustainable. Simon Stocker from Avenir Suisse notes that while the recent drop meets expectations, long-term issues remain. As electricity demand rises due to electrification in various sectors, continuous investment in winter supply is essential.
