The Electricity Bill 2.0 – What You Need to Know Before Power Tariffs Arrive (And What You Can Do About It).
When was the last time you reviewed your electricity contract? Don’t worry if you don’t remember – you’re not alone.
But in 2025, things are about to change. For real.

Power Tariffs – Electricity’s Version of Rush Hour Pricing.

During 2025, more and more Swedish grid operators will introduce so-called power tariffs charges.
In short: you won’t just pay for how much electricity you use – but also for how much you use at the same time.
Charging your car, running the washing machine, and heating your home all at once? Congratulations – you’ve just created a peak load. And that can be costly.

From 2027, this model will be mandatory throughout the EU. So this is not a passing trend – it’s the future.

What Does This Mean for Your Electricity Contract?
It’s time to understand the differences between contract types:
• Fixed price contracts: stable cost, usually higher base rate
• Variable contracts: follow the market – low at times, painfully high at others
• Hourly spot price contracts: you pay the real-time cost – ideal if you can adjust your usage
• Electricity supplier vs. grid charges: two different bills – both affected by your habits
Now, with power tariffs appearing on your grid bill, it’s not just the contract you choose that matters – but how you actually use your electricity.

So What Can You Do? Give Your Home a Brain.

We’ve developed the Homecore Gateway. This is not just another app with graphs.
It’s an intelligent control system that:
🔹 Detects when electricity is cheap – and when it’s not
🔹 Knows when your home is active – and when it only needs minimal heating
🔹 Talks to your heat pump, EV charger, and solar panels
🔹 Avoids expensive peak loads
🔹 Learns your habits – and adjusts automatically

An Example:
Say you have an hourly rate contract and capacity charges.
You plug in your car at 5 p.m., cook dinner, and run a wash cycle.
Electricity prices are peaking. Capacity charges hit. The result? A bill you won’t want to show at dinner.
With Homecore, you get an assistant that says:
“You know what? I’ll charge the car at 2 a.m. instead. Electricity is cheaper and the peak is gone.”

The Homes of the Future Need Future-Proof Systems

It’s no longer enough to see your energy consumption.
You have to control it smartly – in real-time, based on electricity prices, capacity charges, weather forecasts, and user behavior.
And that’s exactly what Homecore does.

What Are You Waiting For?
Capacity charges are coming. The energy market is shifting.
You can either face expensive peaks – or have a smart home that optimizes itself.
