| contents | As energy communities move from policy design to implementation in Switzerland, understanding their performance in practice has become increasingly important. A techno-economic assessment of a regulation-compliant LEC is presented under the new Swiss legal framework in this study. A reference case without local electricity exchange is compared to a LEC scenario with internal electricity sharing. Results show that LEC participation increases local renewable utilization, reduces grid exports, and delivers economic benefits to both consumers and prosumers. A sensitivity analysis further indicates that internal electricity pricing plays a critical role in shaping trade-offs between overall efficiency and fairness in benefit distribution. This exploratory study provides practical insights to support informed decision-making and the future development of LEC in Switzerland. |
