Feed-in remuneration for companies

Classification

Remuneration depends on the market price, output and system model.

For companies, feed-in remuneration is one component of the profitability calculation – alongside self-consumption, guarantees of origin and possible dynamic remuneration models.

If your PV system produces more electricity than your business consumes at the same time, you can feed the surplus into the BKW grid. The remuneration is based on the SFOE reference market price. A guaranteed minimum remuneration also applies to certain PV systems up to 150 kW. For systems over 150 kW, this guaranteed minimum remuneration does not apply; the market price logic is particularly relevant here.

Remuneration logic

What companies should keep in mind

For larger installations, the applicable output class, consumption profile and remuneration model are decisive.

The feed-in remuneration should always be considered together with self-consumption, load profile, grid connection, metering concept and possible guarantees of origin.

Power class

Over 150 kW with no minimum remuneration

Many commercial installations exceed 150 kW. In this case, there is no guaranteed minimum remuneration; the remuneration follows the reference market price or the selected remuneration model.

Self-consumption

Optimise consumption during operation

Self-consumed solar power is often particularly economically attractive. Check production times, peak loads, storage, electromobility and controllable consumers.

Market price

Categorise on a quarterly or dynamic basis

The remuneration for feed-in is based on the SFOE reference market price. In addition, a dynamic remuneration model with hourly market prices may be relevant for suitable installations.

Current remuneration for your solar power

Here you can see how much you receive for the solar power fed into the BKW grid. The amount of remuneration is based on the reference market price of the Federal Office of Energy (FOE). Depending on the output of your photovoltaic system, a guaranteed minimum remuneration also applies.

Compare prices

For companies, the installed capacity is often higher than for households. If the system exceeds 150 kW, there is no guaranteed minimum remuneration. This makes it all the more important to consider self-consumption, feed-in profile, feed-in remuneration, dynamic purchase remuneration and guarantees of origin together.

How to receive the remuneration

To receive a feed-in remuneration, your system must be connected to the public electricity grid and registered with BKW.

Your specialist partner will support you with connection, registration and commissioning. Billing is usually carried out quarterly. The invoice shows whether the electricity fed into the grid was remunerated according to the minimum remuneration or the market price. For systems over 150 kW, no guaranteed minimum remuneration is shown.
