A new survey from the villa owners shows that Ellevios networks in Värmland and the surrounding area are the most expensive in the country.

Where the pay of an ordinary buildings 12 700 sek per year – almost 8 000 sek more than in Ljungby.

According to the elnätsbolagen depends on high prices, among other things, on the necessary investment.

the price Differences between the giants Ellevio and Waterfalls and other elnätsbolag is great, shows Villaägarnas review.

And the larger they become – since 2010, Ellevio and Waterfalls raised elnätsavgifterna for a standard small house owners with 38 per cent. During the same period, the rest of the network companies raised the fees by 16 per cent.

– The largest companies have the highest prices, at the same time, it is they who have raised the most. The gap between them and the local monopolies are increasing all the time but it should be the other way around, ” says Anna Werner, socio-political analyst at Villaägarnas association.

Require higher return

The two biggies are an average of 3 300 sek more expensive per year compared with the rest of the network company. To compare with 2010, when the Ellevio (then called Fortum) and the Waterfalls in the average was 1 300 sek more expensive.

– Despite the fact that the big companies have economies of scale, they are often more expensive for the customers, as their owners require a higher return, ” says Jakob Eliasson, socio-political head at the Villaägarnas association.

The most expensive mains are Ellevios Western Svealand, which costs 12 656 per year for ordinary buildings.

It is 7 914 sek more expensive than its cheapest network – Ljungby energy Networks – with a cost of 4 742 per year for ordinary buildings.

– It is a small local monopolies, and, in general, it is they who is the cheapest, ” says Anna Werner on the Villaägarnas association. SEE ALSO TV: "Can put almost whatever price they want"

High profits, low risk

The most expensive and the cheapest online is the same as last year. Since then it has Ellevio raised its price further. Now requires Villaaägarna that the government is acting for a fairer price regulation.

– The lack of a proper consumer protection, because price regulation in the market for electricity distribution have broken down. Elnätsbolagens high profits are not proportionate to the low risk they take. Villa owners demands that the government instructs the Swedish energy market inspectorate to design a reasonable pricing model and a functional consumer protection, ” says Jakob Eliasson.

Get customers that share a lot of network"

Jonathan Björck, press officer at Ellevio, explains storbolagens higher prices with a large part of their market consists of landsbygdsnät.

– We have a network where there are few customers who are sharing the very network. Looking at our most expensive price range, which is called the Western Svealand-Sweden, we have 183 metres management per customer. We are looking, in Stockholm, sweden, we have 25 meter grids per customer, “he says and continues:

” we are Looking at the municipal companies, they have somewhere between 30 and 60 meters management per customer. Where there is a big difference in what you have for expenses.

Jonathan Björck points out that all companies are subject to the same terms and conditions.

After a legal dispute between elnätsbolagen and the authority the Swedish energy market inspectorate and the supreme administrative court of state in march last year that the companies have the right to charge higher fees. The effect can now be seen.

the Dispute meant that we could not do what we should during the earlier period, we did not know which frames we had to deal with. It meant that we had to move with us the underintäkten in this period. We’ve got a bigger space to take out the fees, it is also the same for all companies.

Even Michael Björnér, head of communications for Vattenfall’s electricity distribution, stresses that a large part of the company’s electricity network is located in rural areas.

” Our electricity grid is the equivalent of three times around the earth. It is the principal explanation for the difference in price, that we have more cable length per customer to maintain and improve than many of the smaller elnätsbolagen, ” he says.

further increases

Further price increases are expected in the coming years.

” We are facing perhaps the biggest investeringspuckeln in all of the country’s electricity grid. Today’s grid is old and needs to be replaced. In order to cope with the investments, we must raise prices, ” says Jonathan Björck. SEE ALSO LEADER – EVA FRANCHELL: Baylan inherited the electricity market from hell (oct 2015)

According to Mikael Björnér used avgifthöjningarna used to improve the power grid. Vattenfall invests, for example, two and a half billion on the power grid in northern Sweden until 2020.

“we do This to reduce the number of interruptions and the length of the interruption,” he says and adds:

– Many paints us an ugly fish with the power grid market consists of a monopoly – and that we then increase the fees. But many of our customers have many and long interruptions. We want to change that, we have an extensive electricity grid and so much to entertain, which means we have to raise prices.

Mikael Björnér also mentions the growing population and in-migration to the metropolitan regions as a reason.

” We must renew and increase the capacity of the electricity grid. Large parts of the electricity grid is old and needs to be renewed. We are modernizing the electric grid with new technologies that make us faster can remedy the outage.
