**A few eligible pockets in Montreux.** 308 addresses are currently eligible for 7 viable LECs at the 40% rebate. Most of the territory still needs case-by-case analysis or is waiting on new photovoltaic producers to clear the viability threshold.

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

## What is a LEC in Montreux?

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 Romande Energie SA's standard tariff.

## Is my address in Montreux eligible?

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

## How to join a LEC in Montreux

You enter your address in Montreux, check eligibility and sign the representation mandate online. WattMatch handles the steps with Romande Energie SA, activation takes 4 to 8 weeks. If no LEC is viable at your address today, you can join the waiting list to be notified as soon as one opens in your area.
