What do the official wholesale electricity prices say for hydro in Switzerland?

Wholesale electricity prices in Switzerland, from Bundesamt für Energie BFE. This source is answered live, so the page shows how to ask, not a number.

An official average or median published by a statistics office or regulator, not individual sales.

ProofPrice reads Bundesamt für Energie BFE when you ask, so the answer is always the latest published. It comes with its period, its source and its licence; a range built from records is given only when at least 5 records sit behind it.

Monthly, a few weeks after month end; each answer states the month it is for
Limits
A wholesale reference price for renewable electricity fed into the Swiss grid, monthly, in Swiss francs per MWh excluding VAT. Not a day-ahead hourly price, not what a household or business pays on a bill, and not a price paid in an individual deal. Volumes are BFE's published volumes; BFE gives no record count.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
