Form - 3. Billing rates

Nicolas Vodoz Updated by Nicolas Vodoz

Billing rates

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

Imported energy from the grid

Electricity is measured in kWh.

Electricity 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.

Then, choose the imported energy tariff for the site or building by referring to a DSO invoice or by contacting them.

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

Community - Electricity metering and groupings

In the event that a photovoltaic installation is connected to the building, the owner also defines the rate at which they wish to resell the solar electricity consumed by the residents.

Legally, the solar rate must not be higher than the standard DSO rate (i.e., 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 standard local DSO product.

Mobility - Electric vehicle charging stations

Enter a rate per kWh for the use of the 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 rate per kWh in their favor to amortize their investment and cover maintenance costs.

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

eBike

By default, the simple DSO rate is applied. It is possible 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 depreciation is applied. The owner is free to modify it.
