**La Chaux-de-Fonds has been analysed by WattMatch**, but no viable Local Electricity Community has been identified to date: the municipality still lacks enough photovoltaic generation to meet the legal viability threshold (at least 5% of subscribed power, art. 14 EnV). New solar producers can shift that number.

**La Chaux-de-Fonds** is one of the municipalities WattMatch tracks for Local Electricity Community (LEC) eligibility. This page rolls up the numbers specific to La Chaux-de-Fonds, index, eligible addresses, viable LECs, and explains how to join or create a LEC where you live.

## What is a LEC in La Chaux-de-Fonds?

A Local Electricity Community (LEC) groups consumers and photovoltaic producers inside the same perimeter, transformer (≈ 500 m) or substation (≈ 1.5 km), coordinated by a single representative (WattMatch). For members, the LEC opens a grid-usage rebate of up to 40% (art. 19h OApEl) and a local energy rate that beats Viteos SA's standard tariff.

## Is my address in La Chaux-de-Fonds eligible?

Eligibility requires at least 5% of photovoltaic capacity in your perimeter (art. 14 EnV). Not every address in La Chaux-de-Fonds is automatically eligible: coverage grows as local solar producers register. The WattMatch checker tells you in 30 seconds whether your address sits in a viable LEC and at what rate.
