15.05.2025 – REMIT Reporting in Switzerland: New Obligations Coming in 2026
Switzerland will implement its own regulatory framework for energy market transparency and integrity starting in 2026, with the introduction of the new Federal Act on Supervision and Transparency in the Wholesale Energy Market – commonly referred to as Swiss REMIT. This law aligns closely with the EU’s REMIT Regulation but is tailored to the Swiss energy market.
Below is an overview of what changes are coming and how market participants – especially those based outside of Switzerland – should prepare.
What is Swiss REMIT?
Adopted in March 2025, Swiss REMIT establishes a legal framework for the monitoring of wholesale electricity and gas trading activities. The new law requires market participants to:
- Register with the Swiss regulator (ElCom)
- Report wholesale energy transactions and orders
- Publish inside information
- Comply with market abuse prohibitions (e.g. insider trading, market manipulation)
Official text:
Federal Act (Fedlex) DE, FR, IT
When does it apply?
Swiss REMIT is expected to enter into force in 2026, with a transitional phase and specific compliance deadlines.
📑 What needs to be reported?
Market participants will be required to report the following data to ElCom:
| Data Type | Electricity | Gas |
|---|---|---|
| Transactions (e.g. OTC, exchange-traded) | ✅ | ✅ |
| Orders to trade | ✅ | ✅ |
| Fundamental data (generation, storage, etc.) | ✅ | ✅ |
| Inside information (e.g. outages) | ✅ | ✅ |
This includes reporting on LNG terminals, storage capacities, and cross-border capacity bookings.
🌍 Foreign companies: Representation requirement
Non-Swiss market participants must appoint a local representative in Switzerland. This representative will act as the official contact for all regulatory communications with ElCom – similar to the new EU REMIT II requirement for non-EU entities.
⚖️ Penalties for non-compliance
Swiss REMIT introduces significant sanctions for violations, including:
- Fines of up to 15% of Swiss annual turnover
- Criminal penalties for market manipulation or deliberate insider trading
- Reputational damage and regulatory enforcement
