The company behind the electricity grid in the Triangle area and on Bornholm, Trefor Elnet, is lowering the tariff in two stages with a new tariff model. 'Tariff model 3.0' contains a summer and a winter tariff, and private electricity consumers in the Triangle area will receive a lower tariff as planned on April 1 with the transition to the summer model. On May 1, Trefor El-net will lower the tariff further, as part of the ongoing price adjustment, the company announced in a press release.
The tariff was set in August 2022 as a result of notification rules, when the electricity price was high, and thus TREFOR El-net expected large costs for purchasing electricity to cover network losses. On January 1, electricity consumers had a debt to the grid company of approximately 82 million, which was to be paid in 2023 together with payment for the year's operation.
- The price of electricity, which we use to cover grid losses, has fallen again, and with the relatively low prices that we also expect over the summer, the costs of the grid loss will be lower than we anticipated. We have therefore settled the debt faster than expected. As a result, as previously promised, we are further reducing the tariff, so that the peak price from May 1 will be down to DKK 0.32/kWh, says Chairman of the Board of Trefor El-net, Charles Nielsen.
The Danish Electricity Supply Authority has approved Tariff Model 3.0 according to the principles that tariffs must be reasonable, transparent and cost-effective. Trefor El-net continues to follow the model's structure with summer and winter tariffs, and therefore private electricity consumers will see a tariff increase again in October. Here, the company expects the peak price to be around DKK 0.73/kWh.
