What is a LEC in Lausanne?

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 Services Industriels de Lausanne's standard tariff.

Is my address in Lausanne eligible?

Eligibility requires at least 5% of photovoltaic capacity in your perimeter (art. 14 EnV). Not every address in Lausanne 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.
