How “Shared Electricity” With IMD Can Reduce Your Costs
Traditionally, each apartment in a housing association has its own electricity contract and meter from the grid operator. This means every resident pays fixed grid fees – often between SEK 1,500 and 3,000 per year.
With Shared Electricity and IMD (Individual Metering and Billing):
1. The housing association signs one electricity contract for the entire building.
→ This reduces fixed costs, as only one contract is needed instead of one per apartment.
2. Individual electricity submeters are installed in each apartment.
→ These measure each household’s actual consumption.
3. Residents are then billed individually based on their actual usage.
This setup can save SEK 1,500 to 3,000 per apartment per year.
Quick Payback
The investment in IMD typically has a payback period of just 1–3 years. After that, the savings are pure profit for the residents.
