Swiss Electricity Price (ElCom)
Swiss Electricity Price (ElCom) — tariffs for any Swiss grid operator
Every Swiss distribution grid operator is legally required (Art. 7b StromVV) to publish its tariffs as a machine-readable file and report the link to the Swiss Federal Electricity Commission (ElCom). This integration reads that file directly — works with any of the ~600 registered operators, not just one specific utility.
What it does
- All energy + grid tariff products created dynamically from the selected operator’s live data (no hardcoded product names) — automatic high/low tariff switching by weekday + time
sensor.elcom_<operator>_price_current— your actual combined electricity price (energy + grid + municipal surcharge + national levies + VAT), with a full plain-text breakdown of the calculation as an attributesensor.elcom_<operator>_tariff_level— whether you’re currently on high or low tariff- All metering fees and every served municipality’s surcharge as individual sensors
number.elcom_<operator>_national_levies/number.elcom_<operator>_vat_percent— directly adjustable, no restart needed, since these aren’t part of any operator’s own tariff filesensor.elcom_<operator>_diagnostics_host/_path/_filename/_year/_last_checked— exactly which tariff file is in use right now and when it was last checked- Energy and grid tariff product picked separately during setup, straight from the operator’s own product list — operators don’t name or pair them consistently, so guessing the match automatically isn’t reliable
- Auto-discovers the tariff file’s URL every year (operators re-report annually, filenames change) — no manual updates needed at the start of a new tariff year
- Fully manual rate entry as a fallback for operators with no working machine-readable link
- Multi-language (DE/EN/FR/IT)
