BKW: feed-in payment from 2027
Checked on 21 September 2026
What BKW has published for 2027
- Keeps the quarterly average price in 2027.
- The new rules apply to existing installations only from 1 January 2028.
- At negative prices you pay the market price, and the premium is still paid.
So for you, probably nothing changes yet in 2027. The figures show what applies once the new rules reach you.
