In a flyer received today from Evolon (formerly ESAG, area Lyss-Aarberg in Canton Bern) the price of electricity will - following the reduction in January 2025 - be reduced again by ca 17.5% from 1st January 2026. A new charge will be “Messwesen” (ca 100 SFr/year) and the “Netznutzung” price will be 50 SFr more, so this will result in an overall reduction of the final bill by about 11%. The price they will pay for e,g, solar energy fed into the grid will stay the same as this year.

That’s really good news! Lower electricity costs are always welcome — especially for small businesses and freelancers.
As a web designer, I often notice how many websites use way more energy than they should because of poor optimization. With energy prices going down, it’s also a great time to think about making our websites faster and more efficient.
