ᐅ Heat pump and household electricity combined on a single meter

Created on: 8 Jun 2023 12:11

Hello,
I am having a heat pump with a capacity of 5.46 kWh installed soon and have some questions regarding the electrical installation. Yesterday, the electrician who works with the builder was on site. According to the electrician, Netze-bw applies lockout periods, even though I have only one meter for the heat pump, the photovoltaic system, and household electricity. A new meter was installed on 04.05.23 by Netze-bw due to the new photovoltaic system. Using a separate meter for the heat pump electricity is not an option. Does anyone have experience with Netze-bw and the required meter installation for heat pumps and photovoltaic systems? I want to run everything through a single meter. Do I need to register the heat pump with Netze-bw?
Regards

Heat pump electricity:

Household electricity:

With 3,000 kWh (3,000 kWh) of heat pump electricity, you save €15.20 per year – but when factoring in the fixed basic charge, you actually end up paying more overall.

The basic charge is actually lower for heat pump electricity compared to household electricity here, right?
However, in my opinion, it’s still not worth it because of the second meter rental fee.

The base rate for heat pump electricity is cheaper here than for regular household electricity, right?

But it doesn't help if you have to pay the base rate in addition to the base rate for household electricity. So, a €15 savings plus an extra base rate plus meter rental fees.

That's right, my mistake. That means the fee applies twice, not alternatively. So it's actually not worth it at all.

Hello, heat pump electricity is always cheaper, so it is always recommended to have 2 meters. I assume that heat pump electricity will be discounted even more in the future.

That’s not always the case. The additional installation costs and the expense for the meter also need to be taken into account.

However, the opposite is not always true either. In our case, it is economical; I still pay 20 cents for heat pump electricity and 30 cents for household electricity. But I have never paid a separate meter rental fee.

Nonsense. Although, I just checked. I don’t live in the countryside but on the edge of two metropolitan areas (Düsseldorf/Ruhr region). There are countless electricity providers here. I have selected the best ones.

So: It’s fake news that heat pump electricity is always cheaper in the end.

P.S. I’ve been heating with a heat pump for almost 10 years. It has never been worthwhile to have a separate meter for heat pump electricity.

Maybe for you, but for us the difference is about 10 cents.

The range will surely come. At the latest when everyone is fed up, there will be hefty discounts—you can consult your crystal ball then.
