Rise to the water flow fee
The district heat water flow fee will rise by 7.8% as from 1 October 2017. The average impact of the change in the water flow fee on the total price of district heat is 1.9%.
As a result of the change, the district heat water flow fee will better correspond to the increased fixed costs of heat production and distribution.
The impacts of the change in water flow fee on standard buildings*:
- For a typical detached home (0,15 m³/h), the price impact is EUR 3.88 per month.
- For a typical terraced home / small apartment block (0,8 m³/h), the price impact is EUR 17.34 per month.
- For a typical larger apartment block (2,8 m³/h), the price impact is EUR 53.52 per month and the apartment-specific price impact is about EUR 0.67 per month.
The district heat energy fee for the autumn period 1 October – 31 December 2017 will be 57,76 e/MWh. The prices include 24% value added tax.
* Standard buildings of the Finnish Energy Industries have been used in the example calculations.
