Reactive energy
ewz supplies 48 reactive kVArh free of charge on 100 active kWh during the peak tariff time (average power factor cos φ = 0.9). If the value of the consumer unit fuse exceeds 40 amperes, the additional reactive energy consumption that occurs during the peak tariff period will be charged at CHF 0.04/kNArh.
Minimum charge
If the total of all charges for grid usage within a meter reading period is less than the minimum charge, then the minimum charge will be applied. The minimum charge is CHF 4.00 per month (CHF 4.31 per month incl. VAT).
