Rates

In this section, define the rates that will be included in the billing statements and charged to residents.

Electricity from the power grid

Electrical energy is measured in kWh.

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

By default, the local distribution network operator (LDNO) is selected based on the building's address.

Then, choose the electricity rate from the power grid for the site or building by referring to a bill from the LDNO or by contacting them.

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

Community - Electric Metering and Pooling

In the case where a photovoltaic system 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 exceed the standard rate of the LDNO, which is the rate that a resident would pay if directly supplied by the LDNO).

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

Mobility - Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles

Enter a rate per kWh for usage of the charging stations. By default, the LDNO rates selected above are applied for electric vehicle charging, and the owner is free to edit them.

When the owner provides one or more charging stations for their tenants, they may increase the per kWh rate to recoup their investment and cover maintenance costs.

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