Background
#LEG photovoltaics in Uri are possible in the energieUri grid area when the participating connections are in the same political municipality and on the same network level.
In the standard case, one or more PV systems contribute at least 5% of the total connection capacity of participating end consumers, and the relevant metering points use intelligent measurement. The LEG uses the public distribution grid; EnergieUri supplies residual electricity and pays for surplus energy, while the LEG must organise internal billing.
A key exception is a site outside the energieUri grid: this provider description cannot be transferred to the responsible grid operator. EnergieUri requires registration at least three months before formation.

What drives the economics
#The energieUri grid area is the first boundary: an address in Canton Uri is not proof on its own. energieUri describes its LEG service for connections in its own distribution grid; outside that area, the responsible grid operator must confirm the requirements and registration route.
The municipality and network level determine the composition: energieUri’s requirements name the same political municipality, and the federal LEG framework requires connections on the same network level. Two nearby buildings in different municipalities therefore do not automatically belong in one LEG.
The 5% ratio is calculated from connection capacity, not roof area or annual consumption. If participating end consumers have 100 kW of combined connection capacity, the generation capacity brought into the community must be at least 5 kW; adding consumption points increases the reference value.
Intelligent metering is not a later convenience feature: the relevant connections and generation systems must be measured correctly under metering law so locally exchanged electricity can be allocated. Missing smart meters, unclear meter allocation or an uncoordinated metering concept can delay registration.
Economics do not come from PV yield alone. A LEG uses the public distribution grid with reduced grid-use charges; local energy pricing, residual supply, metering, levies and internal billing remain separate items. EnergieUri pays for surpluses but does not set the LEG’s internal solar-power price.
The start date is constrained technically and organisationally: energieUri requires at least three months’ lead time for forming a LEG. This period applies to registration with energieUri; it replaces neither PV grid-connection planning nor the coordination of metering, representation and internal billing.
The process in six steps
#Tick off for your project
Define the supply area and project goal
record the address, political municipality, grid operator, metering point and existing or planned PV system for every property. Only the energieUri responsibility confirms whether this guide’s provider conditions apply.
Collect participants and connection capacities
list producers, storage operators and end consumers with their metering points and document the connection capacity of every consumption point. The total is the reference value for the minimum 5% generation capacity under Art. 19e StromVV.
Pre-check the municipality, network level and topology
confirm that all connections are in the energieUri grid, the same political municipality and the same network level. Physical proximity on a map does not replace technical confirmation by energieUri.
Align PV capacity and metering
calculate the planned generation against the 5% ratio and define how PV, storage and consumption will be measured. For the LEG, the relevant metering points must be billable through intelligent metering systems.
Set the operating and billing model in writing
before registration, determine who represents the LEG, how the local solar-power price is set and who issues internal invoices. EnergieUri supplies residual electricity and pays for surpluses; internal organisation remains with the LEG.
Submit the LEG application at least three months in advance
send the energieUri LEG application with participant, system and metering data and state the planned start date. Only after technical review should PV installation, meter work, storage operation and internal billing be scheduled definitively.
