Examples for setting up your grid import tariff with a dynamic electricity tariff:

Case 1: You have a standard (fixed) grid fee (applies to most electricity customers)

If your grid operator charges you the same grid usage fee around the clock, add this to the levies and add the VAT.

  • Fixed levies: 9.36 ct/kWh

  • Your grid usage fee: 5.72 ct/kWh

  • Net total: 15.08 ct/kWh

  • Including 19% VAT (Gross): 17.95 ct/kWh

Your entry in the app: Enter the gross value of 17.95 ct/kWh under "Surcharge on spot price".

 

Case 2: You have time-variable grid fees (e.g., § 14a EnWG Module 3)

If your grid operator offers lower grid fees during certain off-peak times (e.g., at night), you can define exact time windows for this in our app.

Example assumption:

  • Standard time (06:00 – 22:00): Normal grid fee of 5.72 ct/kWh (net)

  • Off-peak time (22:00 – 06:00): Reduced grid fee of only 2.00 ct/kWh (net)

Now calculate your gross surcharge for both time windows separately (Fixed levies + respective grid fee + 19% VAT):

  1. Standard window: (9.36 ct + 5.72 ct) * 1.19 = 17.95 ct/kWh (gross)

  2. Off-peak window: (9.36 ct + 2.00 ct) * 1.19 = 13.52 ct/kWh (gross)

Your entry in the app: Activate the option for time-variable grid fees and store the time periods and calculated gross values as follows:

  • Period 1 (Off-peak)

    • Time: 00:00 to 06:00

    • Price surcharge: 13,52 ct/kWh

  • Period 2 (Standard):

    • Time: 06:00 to 22:00

    • Price surcharge: 17,95 ct/kWh

  • Period 2 (Off-peak):

    • Time: 22:00 to 24:00

    • Price surcharge: 13,52 ct/kWh

The app now knows exactly when to apply which gross surcharge to the hourly spot price.
