Extra meter for heat flow tariff (heating electricity tariff) yes/no?

Keep dreaming. Households always come last. And after 6ct industrial electricity price and lots of subsidies for hydrogen, surprisingly no money will be left.

The E-Werk Mittelbaden has an article about the cascade circuit on its homepage. There it is calculated that with a difference of 7 Ct, the heating electricity tariff pays off after about 2000 kWh (you can surely find it via Google).

What is then wrong with the article? How can I roughly determine the electricity consumption of the heat pump with the mentioned photovoltaic system? I would roughly say it consumes about 3200 kWh without photovoltaic and about 2300-2500 kWh with the photovoltaic system, which would be more than the 2000 kWh mentioned in the article.

The 7c difference? At least here you can only dream of that. The calculation is quite simple: Meter costs / Price = required amount in kWh And then you just have to plug in your numbers, how much the second meter costs you and how much heating electricity is cheaper for you. And even if you assume that you are just above... with heating electricity, the operator is allowed to switch off the heat pump. Not having to do that would be worth a beer a year to me.

We still have about a 10 cent difference. You don't notice the shutdown at all. Therefore, the second meter is financially worthwhile for us.

I have just over 4 cents. In new buildings with photovoltaics, you don't even need to start calculating. However, it used to be completely different.

Here 12ct difference and just under 4,000kWh heat pump electricity grid consumption per year. Since in the future (because this delta was only recently fixed) I will use photovoltaic electricity in the household even more instead of with the heat pump, it will become even clearer soon.

As soon as a few things have settled here and perhaps there are also several providers in this direction, I will probably switch to Tibber or similar because then I can control the times even more precisely. Monetarily, it probably only makes a minor difference, for me it is also a hobby.
