Billing rates
Everything measured by meters can be invoiced.
Other fixed fees such as management fees may also be invoiced.
Rates are defined during administrative setup and can subsequently be modified via the online portal.
1. Electrical Energy
Electrical energy is measured in kWh.
It is invoiced for electricity meters, electric vehicle charging stations, collective laundry managers, etc.
A different rate is applied depending on the origin of the energy (solar or grid) and the time of consumption during the day or the day of the week.
Within the context of RCP in rental buildings, pricing is regulated. See Pricing within the context of RCP.
We thus have the following different electrical energy rates:
Grid electrical energy
- Single-rate grid tariff: a single rate for the entire day (24/7)
- Dual-rate grid tariff: Peak rate (also called Heures Pleines - HP) and off-peak rate (also called Heures Creuses - HC).
The choice between single or dual-rate is generally defined by the supply method of the local Distribution system operator (DSO).
The latter also defines the peak and off-peak hours. Generally, the rate is low during the night, as well as all day on Saturdays and Sundays.
Solar electrical energy (from the photovoltaic installation)
- Single-rate solar tariff: a single rate for the entire day (24/7)
- Dual-rate solar tariff: Peak rate (also called Heures Pleines) and off-peak rate (also called Heures Creuses).
Power fees
In some cases, the grid operator invoices power fees (in kW).
These fees correspond to the maximum power peak consumed during a month or a year.
It is defined by the quantity of energy (kWh) consumed maximum during a 15-minute interval and multiplied by 4.
By entering a power rate on the portal, these power fees are distributed among the site users proportionally to their own power peak and appear on their individual invoice or statement.
Surcharges for certain solutions
For Mobility (charging stations), Washaccess (laundry manager) and eBike (electric bike charging) solutions, the owner can set an increased rate per kWh to cover both electricity costs and equipment provision and depreciation costs.
For example, it is recommended to set a CHF 1.00 to CHF 1.50 per kWh rate for the use of laundries and electric bike charging.
2. Other fees and subscriptions
Other fees and subscriptions are invoiced regardless of consumption.
These mainly include the following items:
- Climkit management fees according to the solutions in place
- DSO meter subscription shared among consumers
- Rental or provision of a charging station by the owner. Recommended price: CHF 30.- to 40.- per month.
The owner or manager is free to charge 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 directly invoiced, but the related expenses are simply distributed proportionally to individual consumption (see Expense statements below).
However, it is possible in certain cases to invoice this type of consumption with a rate per kWh for thermal energy and per m³ for water (thermal contracting, campsites, etc.)
Climkit does not collect Advance payment.
