The company behind the electricity network in the Triangle area and on Bornholm, Trefor Elnet, lowers the tariff by two rounds 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 1 April with the transition to the summer model. On 1 May, Trefor El-net will lower the tariff further, as part of the ongoing price adjustment, the company informs in a press release.
As a result of notification rules, the tariff was determined in August 2022, when the electricity price was high, and thus TREFOR El-net expected large costs for the purchase of electricity to cover network losses. On 1 January, the electricity consumers had a debt to the grid company of approximately 82 million, which had to be paid in 2023 together with payment for the year's operations.
- The price of electricity, which we use to cover network losses, has fallen again, and with the relatively low prices we also expect over the summer, the costs for the network loss will be lower than we anticipated. Therefore, we have settled the debt faster than expected. As a result, as previously promised, we will lower the tariff further, so that the peak price from 1 May will come down to DKK 0.32/kWh, says Trefor El-net chairman Charles Nielsen.
The Danish Supply Authority has approved Tariff Model 3.0 based on the principles that tariffs must be reasonable, transparent and cost-effective. Trefor El-net continues to follow the structure of the model 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.
