How Can We Help You?

For many of our holiday homes, the consumption costs are included in the booking price. For some holiday homes, you may need to pay for consumption (electricity, water, heating, firewood and similar) in addition to the booking price.   

In holiday homes where consumption is not included in the price, the costs depends on usage during your stay or are charged as a pre-defined amount per person per day.

The details of consumption costs are listed in the house description and on your My Booking page. 

The consumption costs will be settled in local currency upon departure or invoiced to you after your stay, please see your My Booking page for details for your booking. We aim to send you the bill within four weeks after your stay.

Calculation of the electricity price charged on Danish holiday homes 

NOVASOL wants to be transparent about how the electricity price you pay as a guest is calculated.
Our calculation of the electricity price charged to guests staying in our Danish houses is based on a publicly available basic price from www.energidataservice.dk. The total consumption price is calculated individually from the basic price (A) plus the mandatory elements (B-E), which together make up the price that the homeowner will be asked to pay for the consumption to the property's electricity supplier. Please see below:

A) The actual cost price 
This price is highly dependent on the method used to generate the electricity (e.g. wind power) and therefore varies on an hourly basis, 24 hours a day. The cost price available on www.energidataservice.dk is used to create an average for the period of your stay in the holiday home.

B) Taxes paid to the government

C) Danish VAT

D) Electricity transport price 
The transport price is calculated on an hourly basis from the electricity supplier to the consumer, based on the time of day when consumption takes place as either a low (00:00 - 05:59), medium (06:00 - 16:59 / 21:00 - 23:59) or high (17:00 - 20:59) consumption pattern. We use an average of the meter readings in all Danish NOVASOL houses that allow digital meter reading on a 14-day rolling basis. The consumption pattern is then used to calculate the average of the total transport price.

E) Profit margin cCharged by the electricity company on an hourly basis (0.15 DKK)

In addition, NOVASOL adds 42% to cover the income tax that the homeowner must pay on the electricity price and an hourly fee of 0.30 DKK per kWh.

The electricity price is recalculated weekly and the price you pay as a guest is dependent on arrival and length of stay.
