At Partille Energi Nät AB we are pleased to announce that we are reducing the electricity grid fees from 1st July 2023. The price is reduced because our costs for transmitting electricity through the grid will be lower than we previously calculated. We want this to benefit you as a customer.

The electricity transmission fee will be reduced by 3 öre/kWh excluding VAT, and by 3,75 öre/kWh including VAT for all consumption tariffs.
The reason for the lower price is that Vattenfall has announced that they will reduce their regional network tariff from 1st July. Electricity trading prices are falling, and this also contributes to our lower costs when purchasing electricity for grid losses.

For a customer living in a flat with an annual consumption of approx. 2000 kWh, the electricity grid cost is reduced by approx. SEK 75/year. A customer in a larger flat or in a villa without electric heating, with an annual consumption of 5 000 kWh will get a reduction of approx. SEK 190/year. For a villa customer with an annual consumption of approx. 20 000 kWh/year, the reduction will be SEK 750/year.

In the latest independent Nils Holgersson report from 2023 with comparisons of electricity grid fees in Sweden’s 290 municipalities, Partille Energi Nät AB is ranked among the 35 municipalities with the lowest fees, precisely as in previous years. By this price reduction on 1st July, Partille Energi consolidates further Partille’s place as an attractive municipality to live and work in.

The general terms and conditions for district heating have been negotiated and they are now established. The new, amended terms will apply from 1 September, 2023.

There are two versions of the general terms and conditions for district heating. One version is ”for the supply of district heating for use in the course of business” and the other one is ”for the supply of district heating for private use”. The terms and conditions for the use in the course of business were established by the Heating Market Committee, while the terms and conditions for private users where established by Swedenergy – Energiföretagen and the Swedish Consumer Agency.
The general terms and conditions have been revised as they were subject to changes in the District Heating Act and the new provisions from the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate, established last summer. Also, the content of the regulation (EiFS 2022:3) is the main reason for the changes in terms and conditions. It concerns measurement, collection of measurement values, information on energy use, invoicing and invoicing information.
In addition, there are some minor linguistic adjustments, as well as a few amendments.
These are for example:

• The right of the district heating company to install control equipment for limited distribution of heating in the customer’s installation (terms and conditions for business users 7.5).
• Provisions on the right to demand security or prepayment from customers with possible payment difficulties (terms and conditions for private users 6.4 ff).
• The right to terminate an agreement with a private customer has been discussed (terms and conditions for private users 9.1). Only one exemplifying sentence has been removed.

The terms and conditions enter into force on September 1, 2023, and can be downloaded here, and under “Documents and forms” from our website.

Underfloor heating is great, but it rarely needs to be on all the time. Save on energy consumption by connecting a timer to the heating system, or turn it on and off manually as needed.

Free up space for the radiators. Shelves, furniture and other things placed in front of the radiators will obstruct the heated air. More energy will be required to heat your home.

Cook faster with a lid on the pot.  Water will heat up much faster if you use a lid. This of course means that less electricity will be used, and your food will be cooked in less time.

Using a kettle instead of the stove when heating water is more energy efficient and usually faster than using the stove.

Do not wash your laundry until the machine is fully loaded. And when doing the washing, do not use higher temperatures than necessary.

Use a dishwasher, if possible. Running fully loaded dishwashers on energy-saving programs saves more energy than washing by hand in hot water.

Check the weather stripping of windows and doors. Heat will quickly leak from cracks. Moreover, a poorly sealed home will become drafty, which makes it feel colder than it is.

Remember to turn off the cooker hood when you are not cooking any food. To use electricity to air out the smell of oozing food is a good investment. But a running fan will also dispel a lot of heated air.

Turn off electronic products completely when they are not in use. The standby mode accounts for relatively large ”energy leaks”. Each device in itself will not consume any large amounts of electricity when it’s on standby. But if you think about all the devices in a home, you can make decent savings here as well.

Use cold water if you just want to rinse your hands. Hot water will not arrive until you turn off the tap, anyway.

Keep the appropriate temperature in the fridge and the freezer. +4 degrees Celsius in the fridge and -18 degrees Celsius in the freezer will provide you with good food storage as well as low energy consumption.

Take quick showers and use low-flow shower heads to save on hot water. If you take a 5-minute shower, you will use approximately 60 liters of water and 2.3 kWh, compared to 180 liters of water and 6.9 kWh for a 15-minute shower.

Partille Energi Nät AB will raise the fees for the network electricity transmission from 1st October 2022.

The adjustment is due to the very high electricity trading prices. This leads to significantly increased purchase costs for the energy losses of the electricity network. The fees for subscription, effect and reactive effect will not be adjusted. Thus they stay the same as before.

Tariff	New electricity transmission fee
Flat (max 16A)	39,50 öre/kWh
Other residences	34,25 öre/kWh

Further information on tariffs and prices for private customers can be found here.

For a flat with an annual consumption of 2 000 kWh, the adjustment corresponds to a raised electricity network cost of 16 SEK/month. For a villa or larger flat with an annual consumption of 5 000 kWh, the cost will be raised by 40 SEK/month. For a villa with an annual consumption of 20 000 kWh, the raised cost will be 158 SEK/month.

Further information about what is considered to be a normal use of electricity in a household can be found here.

Business customers

Tariff	New electricity transmission fee
Max 63A	27,40 öre/kWh
Över 63A	13,80 öre/kWh
HSP 10 kV	6,60 öre/kWh

According to SMHI, February this year was about 5% colder than a so-called normal year and much colder than February last year. If you live in a villa, the cold start of the year can mean that your energy use is higher compared to the same period last year.

About 80% of the energy use in a villa goes to heating and hot water. A higher energy use in the first months of this year compared to the same period last year is completely normal because it has been so cold.

The current pandemic means that many are now working or studying from home. This also means that energy use in a household can be higher than before. This applies to both apartments and villas.

Feel free to log in to My Pages and look at your energy statistics. There you can, for example, analyze when in the day you use the most energy. The next step is to think about whether you can save by turning something off or changing your habits.
