Local Energy Communities (CEL) are collectives that enable citizens, businesses, and local authorities to produce, consume, and share renewable energy at a local level. These initiatives promote decentralized and sustainable energy management while strengthening the energy autonomy of their participants.
Legislative Context: Towards a Sustainable Future
Thanks to the vote on June 9, 2024, Switzerland has adopted a legislative framework aimed at promoting LECs as a cornerstone of the energy transition. This new law will allow the official establishment of LECs starting in 2026, offering a unique opportunity to actively contribute to a responsible energy future.
