District heating fees prices starting 1 January 2025 (customers)

The district heating fees price list is the price list for consumer customers. The price list is selected based on the connection owner. The price list is not available for companies. However, this price list may also be selected by customers whose connection owner has a business ID, but the place of use has only one or two dwellings and no other space to be heated.

The total price of district heating consists of an energy fee, a fixed fee, a return water fee/compensation and taxes. The lowest possible contracted capacity for a detached house is 12 kW (9 kW in block heating).

Fixed fee for district heating

The amount of the fixed fee depends on the contracted capacity (Ø) or the contracted water flow (V).

The fixed fee is determined according to the tariff as follows: Tariff 1 applies to sites with contracted capacity of up to 50 kW. Tariff 2 applies to sites with contracted water flow of up to 4 m³/h. Sites larger than this are included in tariff 3.

As of 1 January 2025, the coefficient values are: k1= 3,95 k2= 4,45 k3= 4,45 (VAT 0%).

District heating return water fee/compensation as of 1 September 2020

The return water fee/compensation applies to places of use with contracted water flow of 10 m³/h or more. The fee/compensation is a maximum of 5% of the sum of the fixed and energy fees for the billing period. The fee/compensation is invoiced only during the heating period (September–April). The target level of return water temperature is 43°C.

The return water fee/compensation, €/month (VAT 0%), is calculated as follows:

• when falling below the target level: (Tp-43) x E x 0.1
• when the target level is exceeded: (Tp-43) x E x 0.2

Tp = average return water temperature for the month, °C
E = energy consumption for the month, MWh
The value added tax valid at any given time is added to the return water fee/compensation.
