Billing rates
Everything measured by the meters can be billed.
Other fixed charges such as management fees can also be billed.
Rates are defined during the administrative setup and can subsequently be modified via the online portal.
1. Electric Energy
Electric energy is measured in kWh.
It is billed for both electric energy meters and charging stations for electric vehicles, the laundry manager, etc.
A different rate applies depending on the source of energy (solar or grid) and the time of its consumption during the day or day of the week.
Within the framework of RCP in rental buildings, pricing is regulated. See Pricing within the framework of RCP.
We thus have the following different electric energy rates:
Electric Energy from the Grid
- Single grid rate: a unique rate for the entire day (24/7)
- Dual grid rate: High rate (also called Peak Hours - HP) and low rate (also called Off-Peak Hours - HC).
The choice between a single or dual rate is generally defined by the mode of supply from the local Distribution System Operator (DSO).
The latter also defines the high and low rate hours. Generally, the rate is low during the night as well as all day on Saturday and Sunday.
Solar Electric Energy (from the Photovoltaic Installation)
- Single solar rate: a unique rate for the entire day (24/7)
- Dual solar rate: High rate (also called Peak Hours) and low rate (also called Off-Peak Hours).
Power Fees
In some cases, the network operator charges power fees (in kW).
These fees correspond to the maximum peak power consumed during a month or a year.
It is defined by the maximum amount of energy (kWh) consumed during a 15-minute interval and multiplied by 4.
By entering a power rate on the portal, these power fees are allocated among the site users in proportion to their own peak power and appear on their invoice or individual statement.
Surcharge for Certain Solutions
In the case of Mobility solutions (charging stations), Washaccess (laundry manager), and EBike (charging electric bikes), the owner can set a marked-up rate per kWh to cover both electricity charges and the costs of making available and depreciating the equipment.
For example, it is recommended to charge a rate of CHF 1.00 to CHF 1.50 per kWh for the use of laundries and charging electric bikes.
2. Other Fixed Charges
Fixed charges are billed regardless of consumption.
These mainly include the following items:
- Management fees from Climkit according to the solutions in place
- Subscription fees for the DSO meter distributed among consumers
- Rental or availability of a charging station by the owner. Recommended price: CHF 30.- to 40.- per month.
The owner or manager is free to allocate these to the residents or not. If so, these items appear distinctly on the statements or invoices sent to the residents.
3. Thermal Energy and Water
Generally, thermal energy (heating) and water are not billed directly, but the related charges are simply distributed proportionally to individual consumption (see Charge Statements below).
Nevertheless, it is possible in some cases to bill this type of consumption with a rate per kWh for thermal energy and per m³ for water (thermal contracting, camping, etc.)
Climkit does not charge an advance payment.
