About electricity prices in Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein imports the great majority of its electricity, largely from Switzerland and Austria, with local hydropower and an unusually high density of rooftop solar covering only part of demand. The grid is operated by the national utility, Liechtensteinische Kraftwerke, which is also the main supplier to households.

Bills are issued in Swiss francs, as the principality shares a currency and customs area with Switzerland, and they separate the energy price from the grid charge and public levies. The market is formally open under the European Economic Area rules the country applies, although in practice the national utility serves almost everyone. Heating relies on oil, gas and a growing number of heat pumps.
