Which municipality in canton Solothurn has the most expensive electricity?

Kestenholz, at 45.88 Rp./kWh for a typical household in the 2027 tariff year (ElCom profile H4, standard product, excl. VAT) — the highest of any municipality in canton Solothurn.

Can a household choose a cheaper supplier?

Not for the grid: households are tied to the local network operator and its grid fee. The energy component is only open to large consumers (above 100'000 kWh a year), so for a household the local tariff is the price — which is why the differences between municipalities matter.

The total electricity price a typical household pays per kilowatt-hour — energy, grid usage, levies to public bodies and the federal grid surcharge — for the 2027 tariff year, as published by the Federal Electricity Commission (ElCom) for consumption profile H4 (4'500 kWh a year, 5-room flat with electric stove and tumble dryer), standard product, excluding VAT. Where a municipality is served by several network operators, the value is the median of their tariffs; the municipality page shows the full range.
