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.

Electricity from the 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, choose the electricity rate from the grid for the Site or building by referring to a Distribution system operator (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 cases where 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 Distribution system operator (DSO) standard rate (i.e., the rate a resident would pay if they were directly supplied by the Distribution system operator (DSO)).

To encourage resident participation and increase the Self-consumption rate, it is recommended to apply a rate 20% lower than the local Distribution system operator (DSO) standard product.

Mobility - Electric vehicle charging stations

Enter a rate per kWh for the use of the stations. By default, the Distribution system operator (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 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 billed to the station users. For an individual station, it is recommended to apply a rate of CHF 30.00 to CHF 40.00 per month.

eBike

By default, the Distribution system operator (DSO) single rate is applied. There is the possibility to enter a higher rate to amortize the installations.

Washaccess

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