The Figure
Swiss industrial companies currently pay on average 2.3 times more for their electricity than their competitors in France. This striking difference is due, among other things, to government support: the energy company EDF must sell a large proportion of its nuclear power at a heavily discounted rate – an advantage for French industry that, however, weighs on taxpayers. (Simon Stocker)
Electricity Prices
How Expensive Is Switzerland?
Switzerland ranks a dismal second among selected countries in industrial electricity prices – only in the Netherlands do large consumers pay more. Christoph Eisenring and Simon Stocker explain why government subsidies would still be the wrong approach: they distort competition, burden taxpayers, and hinder innovations for greater energy efficiency. On the bright side, some relief in electricity prices is expected starting in 2025.

[link removed]
