Rates

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

Electricity from the grid

Electrical energy is measured in kWh.

Electrical energy is invoiced 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.

Then select the electricity rate from the grid for the site or building by referring to a DSO electricity invoice 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 the residents.

Legally, the solar rate must not exceed the standard DSO rate (the rate a resident would pay if they were directly supplied by the DSO).

In order to encourage resident participation and increase the self-consumption rate, it is recommended to apply a rate 20% lower than the local DSO's 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 provides one or more charging stations 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 rate to be charged to the users of the charging stations. 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 standard DSO rate is applied. Possibility to enter a higher rate to amortize the installations.

Washaccess

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