Rates

In this section, define the rates which will be inserted into the statements and billed to the residents.

Electricity from the electrical grid

Electrical energy is measured in kWh.

Electrical energy is billed for both electricity meters and electric vehicle charging stations.

By default, the local Distribution System Operator (DSO) is selected based on the building's address.

Next, select the electricity rate from the electrical grid for the site or building by referring to a DSO electricity bill or by contacting the DSO.

It is then possible to manually edit these rates. This can also be done later via the online portal.

Community - Electricity metering and groupings

If a photovoltaic installation is connected to the building, the Owner also defines the rate at which they wish to resell the photovoltaic electricity consumed by residents.

Legally, the solar rate must not be higher than the DSO standard rate, i.e., the rate a resident would pay if directly supplied by the DSO.

To encourage resident participation and increase the self-consumption rate, it is recommended to apply a rate 20% lower than the local DSO standard product.

Mobility - Electric vehicle charging stations

Enter a rate per kWh for use of the charging stations. By default, the DSO rates selected above are applied for electric vehicle charging; the Owner is free to edit them.

When the Owner makes one or more charging stations available to their tenants, they can increase the per-kWh rate in their favor to amortize their investment and cover maintenance costs.

Optionally, also enter a fixed monthly rental fee to be billed to charging station users. For an individual charging station, it is recommended to apply a rate of CHF 30.00 to CHF 40.00 per month.

EBike

By default, the DSO standard rate is applied. Possibility to enter a higher rate to amortize the installations.

Washaccess

By default, the recommended rate of CHF 1.00 / kWh to cover both energy costs and machine amortization is applied. The Owner is free to modify it.
