BKW Prices
Moderate price adjustments for 2011

Bern (ots)

Effective 1 October 2010, BKW FMB Energy Ltd (BKW) is
increasing its energy supply prices by an average of 6%. Last year, 
in view of the difficult economic situation, BKW decided not to 
increase electricity prices as necessity demanded. Now, however, due 
to increases in various costs, the adjustments can no longer be 
postponed. For BKW customers, the price adjustments vary depending on
the customer group. For the majority of households with a low 
consumption volume, electricity costs will not rise.
Last year BKW forecast that a price increase would be unavoidable 
for 2011. Increases in various investment and maintenance costs have 
necessitated a price adjustment of 6% on average. The effect for 
different customer groups varies depending on their consumption 
habits. The majority of households with low consumption volumes will 
not experience a rise in electricity costs.
BKW's price policy is based on the legal requirements set down in the
Electricity Supply Act and are calculated on the basis of production 
costs. The adjustments remain well within the legally permissible 
boundaries. It is BKW's declared aim to continue guaranteeing the 
energy security that exists today. With this in mind, it is 
consistently investing in the repair and expansion of production and 
grid assets. BKW remains committed to a reliable, ecological and 
efficient supply of energy even in the liberalised electricity 
market.
BKW customers will be informed in writing about the price 
adjustments over the next few weeks. The new grid usage and energy 
prices, valid from 1 October, will be posted on the BKW website at 
www.bkw-fmb.ch/markt from 5 July 2010. The current prices are posted 
on www.1to1energy.ch. Customers can use the electricity cost 
calculator at www.bkw-fmb.ch/markt to calculate their own electricity
costs.
The new rate for the legal tax for the promotion of new renewable 
energies will be defined by the Federal Office for Energy in autumn 
and come into force on 1 January 2011. Until then, the current rate 
of 0.45 cents per kWh will be charged. The new VAT rate of 8% 
(currently 7.6%) will also be applied from 1 January 2011.
