1 Introduction to electricity pricing

Reduxi is an AI-based electricity control platform. To optimize energy consumption, the system requires accurate information about the electricity prices applicable to each location. Prices can be predefined at the global level and then assigned to individual customer locations, or the end user can enter custom prices directly.

ℹ️
Prerequisite Specifying pricing is a prerequisite for all price-based optimizations, including negative price optimization and AI strategies for battery storage, solar power plant, EV charging, and HVAC systems. Pricing data is required to accurately calculate savings, earnings, self-consumption benefits, and overall financial optimization.

The total cost of electricity at any location consists of two independent components: the cost of the energy and the grid/network fee. The total cost of electricity is the sum of both (see the diagram at the top of this article).

1.1 Cost of the energy

The energy price paid to the electricity supplier can be structured in one of three ways:

Type Description
Fixed price A constant price per kWh that does not change with time. Simplest model to configure.
Time of use (TOU) Different prices apply during defined time periods, for example a lower night rate and a higher day rate.
Dynamic price (SPOT market) The energy price is determined by the wholesale electricity market and is known one day ahead. A supplier fee (markup) is added on top of the market price.

1.2 Grid / network fee

The network fee is paid to the distribution system operator (DSO) and covers the use of the electricity grid. It consists of two parts:

  • Cost for consumed energy: charged per kWh of electricity transported through the grid.
  • Cost for capacity/power: charged per kW of peak demand recorded during the billing period.

Reduxi requires all four price components to be configured for a location: Supplier energy buy, Supplier energy sell, Distributor energy price (for grid), and Distributor power price (for grid).

1.3 Configuration workflow

The configuration workflow has three stages:

1
Define Time of Use plans
Manager role. Reusable weekly time schedules that define when each price period applies. See ⁠Point 2⁠.
2
Define predefined price lists
Manager role. Reusable price templates that attach actual prices to a pricing model (fixed, TOU, or SPOT). The end user can reuse them later. See ⁠Point 3⁠.
3
Assign prices to an end-user location
Select a predefined price list or enter a custom price for each component. See ⁠Point 4⁠.
ℹ️
End users The end user continues with ⁠Point 4⁠ to define the pricing plan on their location.

2 Manager role: creating a Time of Use plan

A Time of Use (TOU) plan defines a named weekly schedule of time periods, called time blocks. A typical example is a low/high tariff (for example night/day).

⚠️
Role required A TOU plan can only be created by the aggregator role (managers, aggregators, installers and similar). If you are a regular end user and the TOU plan you need is not available, ask your manager to create it.

Once created, a TOU plan can be referenced by any number of price lists. This section shows how to create a "Night/Day" plan for Austria, which divides each day into a night period and a day period.

2.1 Navigating to Time of Use

3 Manager role: creating predefined price lists

A predefined price list is a reusable pricing template. It combines a price model type (Fixed, Time of use, or SPOT market) with actual price values. Once created, a price list can be assigned to any number of end-user locations. Typical use cases are price lists from energy suppliers and network price lists. The end user selects one of them without much effort. This section creates one example of each model type.

3.1 Open the form and fill in the fields

To open the Predefined price lists screen, go to Settings > Plans & Prices > Predefined price lists.

The pricing breakdown chart
Text description of this image

Screenshot of two bar charts in Reduxi Cloud (dark theme) showing the price per 15 minutes over one day, x axis from 6. May with labels 02:00 to 22:00, a vertical line marked Now at about 11:00. Top chart: Purchase of electricity, y axis Price [c/kWh] from 0c/kWh to 30c/kWh. Stacked bars per time slot in green (Energy), blue (Fee) and purple (Network) with a red line for Total. Legend: Network, Fee, Energy, Total. Total is about 16 to 20 c/kWh most of the day, dips to about 7 c/kWh around 12:00 to 14:00 and peaks at about 25 c/kWh at 08:00 and about 24 c/kWh around 20:00. A tooltip for 08:00 - 08:15 shows: Network: 2c/kWh; Energy: 18.24c/kWh; Fee: 5.23c/kWh; Total: 25.48c/kWh. Bottom chart: Sale of electricity, y axis from 0c/kWh to 2.5c/kWh, all bars green and equal at 2c/kWh over the whole day. Legend: Fee, Energy, Total. A tooltip for 08:00 - 08:15 shows: Energy: 2c/kWh; Total: 2c/kWh.

Each bar represents a 15-minute interval. Hovering over a bar shows the exact cost components: Energy (green), Fee (blue), Network (purple), and Total (line) over 24 hours, and a Sale of electricity chart below.

The chart shows two sections:

  • Purchase of electricity: the total cost per kWh, broken down into Network fee (purple), Fee/markup (blue), and Energy (green). The line shows the total.
  • Sale of electricity: the revenue per kWh for energy exported to the grid. No network fee is charged for the sale of electricity.

The chart is an immediate visual confirmation that the pricing is configured correctly. It also lets you compare prices across the hours of the day. The optimization engine uses these prices to schedule controllable loads (EV charging, HVAC, battery) at the lowest-cost time slots.

✓ Summary

Basics (Point 1): Reduxi needs four price components per location: supplier energy buy, supplier energy sell, distributor energy price and distributor power price. Energy is priced fixed, time of use or SPOT.

Time of Use plan (Point 2): Aggregator role only. Create the plan, define the time blocks, add a season and assign the blocks to every day of the week.

Predefined price lists (Point 3): Create fixed, time of use and SPOT market price lists under Settings, Plans & Prices, Predefined price lists.

Assign to the end user (Point 4): Open Manage Location, Utility Rate Plan. Select a price list or define custom prices, save, and check the pricing breakdown chart.
