Tenant electricity

So-called “tenant electricity” is an innovative energy supply model that enables residents of blocks of flats to benefit directly from locally generated electricity. The electricity is generated in their own or an adjacent building and supplied directly to tenants. Unlike electricity from the public grid, it does not travel long distances but is used within the building. This reduces the load on the grid and energy losses. Energy can be generated using various technologies, but photovoltaic or combined heat and power systems are the most common. Tenants can benefit from lower electricity prices, as some of the usual components of electricity costs are reduced or eliminated entirely when electricity is supplied and used directly on site. The model also aims to encourage the expansion of PV installations12

We work with Lynus Deutschland GmbH, which enables locally generated electricity to be used directly in blocks of flats.

Here are some of the benefits:

A win-win situation for everyone involved:

Landlords: Increased property value, reduced service charges and a contribution to the energy transition.

Tenants: Electricity prices that remain at least 10% lower than those of the default supplier.

Changes under the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) 2023:

The 100 kW limit for the tenant electricity subsidy has been increased to 1 MW.
The EEG levy has been abolished.

Funding opportunities:

Tenant electricity installations receive support through the tenant electricity subsidy.
Lynus offers automated billing and payment collection for the electricity consumed
