Locally generated renewable energy enables both private individuals and businesses to reduce energy costs while contributing to regional value creation. At the same time, it supports a more efficient and sustainable energy system.
enshift operates its own power generation assets and makes the produced energy available through LEG, ZEV and vZEV models. We handle the technical and regulatory processes to ensure simple and transparent participation.
A LEG enables people and businesses to share locally produced solar power—even across property boundaries. This means that renewable energy can be consumed where it is generated, and multiple participants benefit from shared electricity production.
How does it work?
A photovoltaic system produces electricity on site. This is measured digitally and distributed proportionally among the participants within the community – even if they do not have their own roof. Participants remain connected to the public power grid and purchase additional electricity as usual through their grid operator.
In a ZEV, residents of one or more nearby buildings join forces to use solar power generated locally. They are treated as a single consumption unit by the distribution network operator, but remain connected to the public power grid.
enshift takes care of the organization and administrative processing of the ZEV. This includes the technical setup, the contractual arrangements, and coordination with the distribution network operator – so that participation is simple and smooth for everyone involved.
With a vZEV, solar power is produced in an external plant and allocated to participants via the public grid on a mathematical basis. Even though the physical electrons cannot be tracked individually, the energy allocation is clearly regulated by law.
Here, too, enshift takes care of provision, contractual processing, and billing. This allows you to benefit from locally produced solar power in an uncomplicated manner—even without your own roof space.
A PPA is a long-term power purchase agreement directly with a solar power producer. It guarantees you a fixed amount of electricity at a predefined price over several years.
Unlike conventional power supply contracts with an energy supplier, PPAs are particularly flexible. They link the supply of electricity directly to a specific generation plant, such as a photovoltaic system.

The Federal Council’s draft ordinance clarifies the requirement of local proximity, allowing a Local Electricity Community (LEG) to extend across the territory of an entire municipality – the maximum permitted by law.
Additionally all participants — including solar producers, storage operators, and consumers — must be located within the same grid area and grid level.
A ZEV (Shared Self-Consumption) is like a mini electricity club where connected buildings share power and bills—everyone pitches in, so if one person doesn’t pay, the others cover it.
A vZEV (Virtual ZEV) works the same way but connects through the public grid.
A Local Electricity Community (LEG) lets members keep their own electricity contracts while sharing self-produced solar power from the same ZIP code and grid level. It’s an easy way to cooperate, use more local energy, and make the most of the solar power produced in your area. Because production and consumption happen locally, grid fees are lower — cutting electricity costs by up to 20%.
A grid area defines the geographic region where a grid operator is active. In Switzerland, the electricity network is divided into seven grid levels. For Local Electricity Communities (LEG), the relevant ones are:
