The main ways to optimize electricity costs are:
If a company is not satisfied with the current electricity supplier, it has the right to change it, in accordance with the Electricity Retail Market Rules, by concluding a contract with a new electricity supplier
IKNET offers its services in analyzing the profile and current cost of electricity consumption, as well as in selecting the electricity supplier that will provide optimal conditions and cost of electricity consumption for the enterprise.
If the company is not satisfied with the existing electricity suppliers in the Ukrainian electricity market, it is always possible to become an electricity supplier.
Create a website with relevant information
Obtain the license for electricity supply to consumers from the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission
Obtain the Energy Identification Code (EIC-code)
Conclude corresponding agreements with the Transmission System Operator, Distribution System Operator, Market Operator,etc.
In order to optimize the company's electricity consumption costs, it is possible to switch from voltage class 2 to voltage class 1, provided the company's grid connection scheme is modified.
Consumers and operators of BESS connected to the distribution system operator's electrical grids with rated voltage of 27.5 kV and above
Consumers and operators of BESS connected to power plants buses (except for SPPs, bioenergy plants, wind farms and micro, mini and small hydropower plants)
Consumers and operators of BESS connected to the distribution system operator's electrical grids with rated voltage below 27.5 kV
Cost optimization for consumed electricity is achieved by using the appropriate tariff for electricity distribution services, which differ significantly for consumers of voltage classes 1 and 2.
For example, the electricity distribution tariff for corporate clients of Vinnytsiaoblenergo JSC:
Savings will amount to UAH 13.47 million/year for each 1 MWh of consumed power for a company running 8,000 hours per year.
The price for electricity consumed in the market is formed by the following periods:
Base load from 00:00 to 24:00
Peak load from 08:00 to 20:00
Post-peak load from 00:00 to 08:00 and from 20:00 to 24:00
Therefore, adjusting a company's electricity consumption to the hourly average price of electricity will help optimizing the cost of consumed electricity.
