Background
#In the EnBAG grid area, PV feed-in payment in Valais in 2026 is 14.00 ct./kWh from April to September and 6.5 ct./kWh from October to March for systems below 80 kVA, excluding VAT.
Owners who transfer guarantees of origin to EnBAG through a Pronovo standing order and also supply the physical energy to EnBAG receive an additional 1.5 ct./kWh. The voluntary TOP-40 model limits export power at the connection point to no more than 60% of installed DC capacity and increases the EnBAG feed-in rate for all exported energy by 8%.
These values do not automatically apply across the canton: the responsible distribution system operator must first be confirmed for each property. Where no remuneration agreement exists, the quarterly BFE reference market price and federal minimum payments form the fallback framework.

What drives the economics
#The grid operator determines the actual rate. EnBAG accepts surplus energy only from systems in its own grid area; a Valais address outside that area needs the terms of its responsible distribution system operator.
Capacity and season determine the EnBAG standard rate. The 2026 price sheet applies to systems below 80 kVA and states 14.00 ct./kWh for April to September and 6.5 ct./kWh for October to March, excluding 8.1% VAT. EnBAG handles systems from 80 kVA individually.
The federal value is not a second EnBAG rate. Without a remuneration agreement, the quarterly BFE reference market price has served as the fallback since 2026. For photovoltaics it was 10.266 ct./kWh in Q1 and 3.896 ct./kWh in Q2; capacity- and self-consumption-dependent minimum rules also apply up to 150 kW.
Guarantees of origin must be separated from physical energy. EnBAG states an additional 1.5 ct./kWh if the energy is supplied to EnBAG, the system is certified and HKN transfer is set up through a standing order in the Pronovo system.
TOP-40 is a voluntary model with a technical commitment. Maximum export power is limited to 60% of installed DC capacity; in return, EnBAG increases the applicable rate for all exported energy by 8%. Profitability depends on orientation, self-consumption and the load profile.
Only electricity actually exported counts toward feed-in revenue. A robust calculation separates annual production, self-consumption, storage flows, summer and winter exports and HKN revenue, and also tests a quarter with a low market price.
The process in six steps
#Tick off for your project
Confirm the grid area
identify the distribution system operator from the connection address. Use the values stated here only for an EnBAG connection; otherwise request the current price sheet from the local operator.
Define the system and metering concept
record AC apparent power in kVA, installed DC capacity, summer and winter production, self-consumption and storage flows separately. From 80 kVA, an individual EnBAG assessment is required.
Compare the standard rate and TOP-40
model exported kWh by season. Under TOP-40, apply the 8% bonus only to actual exports and simulate potential losses from the 60% power limit.
Register and certify the system
register the grid connection and generating system according to EnBAG requirements. After commissioning, complete certification for the Pronovo HKN system.
Set up HKN transfer
record the standing order in the Pronovo system in favour of EnBAG and also supply the physical energy to EnBAG. When switching to third parties, observe the EnBAG notice period of 30 days to the end of a quarter.
Check settlement
review summer and winter exports, the HKN item and any TOP-40 bonus separately. If contract terms change, update the profitability calculation instead of carrying one rate across the entire system life.
