Optimize Concession Levy
Many companies pay unnecessarily high levies to their municipality. acteno helps with correct classification.
Did you know that many companies pay unnecessarily high levies to their municipality? The so-called concession levies for electricity and gas are legally capped but depend heavily on your status as a consumer. The problem: Many businesses are automatically billed as standard tariff customers. Depending on the municipality size, you pay up to 2.39 ct/kWh.
Your opportunity: If you are classified as a special contract customer, this amount drops to just 0.11 ct/kWh – completely regardless of your location.
Save up to 95% of the levies.
You typically qualify as a special contract customer when:
- Your annual consumption exceeds 30,000 kWh
- Your measured power exceeds 30 kW in at least two months of the year
Our tip: Often it is also worthwhile to switch from a standard load profile measurement (SLP) to a registering power measurement (rLM) to achieve maximum transparency and cost efficiency.
Concession Levy Comparison
| Version | Population | Amount in Cents per kWh |
|---|---|---|
| Tariff Customers | up to 25,000 | 1,32 |
| up to 100,000 | 1,59 | |
| up to 500,000 | 1,99 | |
| over 500,000 | 2,39 | |
| Low-load tariffs | 0,61 | |
| Special Contract Customers | 0,11 |
Potential / Example
acteno converts the measurement from SLP to rLM, which also determines the peak power. The customer has a peak load of 32 kW in two months of the year.
Initial Situation
Customer with an annual consumption of 80,000 kWh in a large city > 500,000 inhabitants is still classified as a tariff customer through their SLP measurement.
Application
acteno installs a power measurement and thereby determines the peak power. In coordination with the grid operator, billing is converted from tariff customer to special contract customer.
Previous Calculation
Concession levy as tariff customer: 2.39 cents / kWh
80.000 kWh × 0,0239 Euro per kWh = 1.912 Euro
New Calculation
Concession levy as special contract customer: 0.11 cents / kWh
80.000 kWh × 0,0011 Euro per kWh = 88 Euro
Savings
1.912 Euro – 88 Euro = 1.824 Euro p.a.
