**Excellent LEC potential in Vevey.** 1 810 addresses are eligible for a viable Local Electricity Community, spread across 27 LECs at the 40% grid rebate. The bulk of the municipality can join a LEC today, what's left is to populate them with consumers and producers.

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

## What is a LEC in Vevey?

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 Vevey eligible?

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

You enter your address in Vevey, 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.
