Electricity rate by DSO # Groupe E electricity rate in 2026 Compare Groupe E's standard rate with the Local Electricity Community (LEC) rate. ElCom data 2026, WattMatch calculation for a reference photovoltaic installation (10 kW). Consumer rate 20.73ct/kWh energy + grid usage, excluding taxes and levies Producer buyback 10.96ct/kWh buyback price for the solar surplus fed in LEC consumer rate 11.56ct/kWh price within a Local Electricity Community at 40% grid rebate LEC producer rate 9.56ct/kWh producer buyback within the LEC, higher than the DSO rate **Groupe E** serves 143 municipalities across Switzerland (Fribourg, canton FR). The standard electricity rate combines energy (11.95 ct/kWh) and grid usage (8.78 ct/kWh). By joining a Local Electricity Community (LEC) with Groupe E, you receive a grid-usage rebate of up to **40%** (art. 19h OApEl) and local energy is bought at a more favourable price than the standard rate. ## How are LEC rates calculated? WattMatch applies the LApEl 2026 formula: total margin = consumer ceiling (Groupe E rate minus grid rebate) − producer buyback. That margin is split into three shares: **consumer** (savings on the bill), **producer** (premium above Groupe E's buyback) and **WattMatch** (commission capped at 2 ct/kWh). For Groupe E that yields a LEC consumer rate of **11.56 ct/kWh** and a LEC producer rate of **9.56 ct/kWh**. ## Coverage and eligibility Groupe E covers 143 municipalities, LEC eligibility then depends on enough local solar generation (at least 5% of subscribed power, art. 14 EnV) inside your transformer perimeter (≈ 500 m) or substation perimeter (≈ 1.5 km). Check your address in 30 seconds to confirm eligibility. ## How to join a LEC with Groupe E You enter your address, check eligibility in 30 seconds, sign the representation mandate online. WattMatch then handles the steps with Groupe E. Activation typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, and savings start when the LEC goes live. ## Municipalities served 104 municipalities on the Groupe E network have a detailed LEC potential analysis, ordered by descending index. - [Attalens (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/attalens-fr) - [Autigny (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/autigny-fr) - [Avenches (VD)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/avenches-vd) - [Avry (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/avry-fr) - [Bas-Intyamon (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/bas-intyamon-fr) - [Belfaux (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/belfaux-fr) - [Belmont-Broye (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/belmont-broye-fr) - [Billens-Hennens (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/billens-hennens-fr) - [Bösingen (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/bosingen-fr) - [Broc (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/broc-fr) - [Brot-Plamboz (NE)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/brot-plamboz-ne) - [Brünisried (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/brunisried-fr) - [Bulle (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/bulle-fr) - [Château-d'Oex (VD)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/chateau-d-oex-vd) - [Châtel-Saint-Denis (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/chatel-saint-denis-fr) - [Châtillon (FR) (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/chatillon-fr-fr) - [Châtonnaye (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/chatonnaye-fr) - [Chénens (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/chenens-fr) - [Chevroux (VD)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/chevroux-vd) - [Cheyres-Châbles (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/cheyres-chables-fr) - [Corminboeuf (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/corminboeuf-fr) - [Cornaux (NE)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/cornaux-ne) - [Cottens (FR) (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/cottens-fr-fr) - [Courgevaux (FR)](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/courgevaux-fr) [See the LEC potential of all 2,182 Swiss municipalities →](https://wattmatch.ch/en/municipalities/lec-potential) [Join a LEC with Groupe E](https://wattmatch.ch/en/#signup) [Check my address](https://wattmatch.ch/en/join) **Disclaimer:** indicative rates based on ElCom 2026 data and Groupe E's official filings.
