PV feed-in payment Repower Graubünden 2026

In Graubünden, Repower's PV feed-in payment in its own grid area follows the quarterly averaged SFOE reference market price in 2026; systems up to 30 kWp receive at least 6.0 ct./kWh. For systems from 30 to below 150 kWp, the applicable minimum is 6.2 ct./kWh without self-consumption or the value of 180 divided by system capacity in kWp with self-consumption. This payment covers only electricity that actually flows into the Repower grid after self-consumption and applies to generating systems up to 3 MW or 5,000 MWh of annual production after self-consumption. Guarantees of origin may be paid separately if the system is registered with Pronovo and a standing order transfers them to Repower. This calculation does not transfer to systems outside the Repower grid area, third-party marketing or the feed-in remuneration system under Art. 19 EnA.

How high is PV feed-in payment with Repower in 2026?

In the Repower grid area, 2026 PV payment follows the quarterly averaged SFOE reference market price. Systems up to 30 kWp receive at least 6.0 ct./kWh; from 30 to below 150 kWp, 6.2 ct./kWh or 180 divided by kWp applies depending on self-consumption. HKNs are paid separately by quarter when Pronovo registration and a standing order are in place.

Important

As of 4 September 2026, the Repower tariff sheet applies from 1 January to 31 December 2026 and lists all rates excluding 8.1% VAT. The SFOE reference market price is updated quarterly; publication for Q3 2026 is scheduled for 14 October 2026. The values also apply only in the Repower grid area and not to systems with a third-party buyer or in the remuneration system under Art. 19 EnA.

What determines the right path.

The grid operator and system scope limit the tariff. Repower describes feed-in payment for systems in its own grid area up to 3 MW or 5,000 MWh of annual production after self-consumption. Anyone marketing electricity to third parties or participating in the remuneration system under Art. 19 EnA receives no additional Repower feed-in payment.

The base value is not a fixed annual price. Art. 15 EnA and Art. 15 REO lead to the quarterly averaged SFOE reference market price; the SFOE publishes the values by 12 noon on the 10th working day after quarter-end. Publication for Q3 2026 is scheduled for 14 October 2026, so an annual calculation using only one rate would be unreliable.

System size and self-consumption determine the minimum payment. Up to 30 kWp, 6.0 ct./kWh is guaranteed; from 30 to below 150 kWp, 6.2 ct./kWh applies without self-consumption and 180 divided by system capacity applies with self-consumption. For a 50 kWp system, this formula gives 3.6 ct./kWh for the first 30 kW unless the reference market price is higher.

HKNs are a separate revenue item. In 2026, Repower pays 0.5 ct./kWh in the first and fourth quarters and 0.2 ct./kWh in the second and third quarters in addition to the energy payment. The system must be recorded in Pronovo's guarantees-of-origin system and a standing order must transfer the HKNs to Repower; retroactive HKN payments are excluded.

Payment covers exports, not total production. Direct consumption, battery charging, a wallbox, a heat pump and actual exports must be modelled separately. Higher self-consumption can reduce the value of exported kilowatt-hours while avoiding more expensive grid purchases; the HKN and tariff value is therefore only one part of the economic calculation.

Changing the buyer and metering changes the process. A switch to third-party marketing or back to Repower is possible at quarter-end with one month's notice; when a third party purchases the energy, Repower payments cease. In 2026, additional non-essential meters or virtual metering points are not charged, but regular metering fees may apply from 2027 if the arrangement is not adjusted.

How the project stays cleanly managed.

  1. 1

    Confirm the grid areause the connection address to verify that the system is actually in the Repower grid area. Being in Graubünden alone is not enough because other distribution system operators apply their own feed-in conditions.

  2. 2

    Record system limits and participation routedocument module capacity in kWp, expected annual production after self-consumption and whether participation under Art. 19 EnA or third-party marketing is planned. The Repower framework applies only up to 3 MW or 5,000 MWh and without an excluded marketing route.

  3. 3

    Calculate the tariff classclassify the system up to 30 kWp, from 30 to below 150 kWp or above 150 kWp, and separate self-consumption from full feed-in. From 30 to below 150 kWp with self-consumption, calculate 180 divided by kWp and compare the result with the current SFOE reference market price.

  4. 4

    Prepare energy flows and HKNsrecord production, direct use, battery and charging flows and physical exports separately. If Repower is to pay for HKNs, have the system recorded with Pronovo and set up the standing order to the correct trader account.

  5. 5

    Decide on the buyer and deadlinefor third-party marketing or a switch to Repower, align the notice at least one month before a quarter-end. At the same time, check the metering arrangement because the number of meters and virtual metering points can affect future metering fees.

  6. 6

    Check the quarterly settlementcompare the applied SFOE reference market price with the minimum payment, show energy and HKNs separately and account for 8.1% VAT. The SFOE publication by the 10th working day after quarter-end is the right point to update the economic calculation.

Questions to settle before the quote.

  • Check the Repower grid area, the 3 MW or 5,000 MWh system limit and participation in the EIV
  • Classify 6.0 ct./kWh up to 30 kWp and the 180 divided by kWp formula with self-consumption
  • Secure the HKN add-on of 0.5 ct./kWh in the first and fourth quarters and 0.2 ct./kWh in the second and third
  • Align self-consumption, buyer changes and the one-month notice period before quarter-end ahead of the quote

Solar Installation Graubünden – Planning to Commissioning

In Canton Graubünden, alpine PV systems deliver up to 50% of annual production in winter – strategically decisive for Swiss supply security. The federal government subsidises large alpine systems with up to 60% of investment costs (for winter yield ≥500 kWh/kW/year). Repower coordinates grid connection and permits regionally. Projects like Nalpsolar (10 MW) and the Axpo expansion in Ilanz (30–50 MW) demonstrate scalability.

PV Installation Graubünden – Roof & Electrical

Graubünden is the canton with Switzerland's greatest alpine solar potential. Thanks to altitude and cold, PV systems here deliver 30–50% higher yields than in the midlands. Repower compensates from 6 Rp./kWh + HKN bonus. The Muttsee dam wall (2,500 m) with 5,000 panels delivers 3.3 million kWh/year – with three times higher winter production than comparable lowland systems. Alpine installation requires specialised mounting structures for extreme wind and snow loads.
