Starting in 2027, the rules of the game for electricity use will change. Learn how to turn impact tariffs from a cost trap into an economic opportunity. With smart control and outgo-based charging, you can cut power peaks, reduce fees by thousands of SEK and future-proof your property's charging infrastructure.
Impact tariffs are not an obstacle -- they are an opportunity. With the right strategy, you can reduce costs, even out the load and get a more predictable charging environment. Here you get a clear path forward for 2026, regardless of whether you are in charge of a BRF, a commercial real estate or a larger vehicle fleet.
The Swedish Energy Market Inspectorate has decided that all electricity grid companies will introduce time-differentiated power tariffs by 1 January 2027. The aim is to even out the load in the grid and create incentives to control electricity use from high load to low load.
This means that the cost of your electricity use in the future will be affected by when you use electricity -- not just how much. To delve deeper into what this means for your business, read our guide on power tariffs and electric car charging.
Electric cars are parked significantly longer than they are actually charged. Med smart charging the charging power can be shifted to times of low mains load without affecting the user experience. This makes electric car charging one of the property's most valuable resources when it comes to cutting power peaks.
With ChargeNode's departure-based control, each car is charged according to actual need and scheduled departure time. By implementing dynamic load balancing can you ensure:
A mid-sized BRF with 30 parking spaces faced increasing costs due to high power peaks. By introducing departure-based control and a power cap (“virtual hedging”), the association was able to:

Review the main fuse and power subscription as well as how charging affects the loads of the property. Are you unsure of the needs? Learn more about how much power a property actually needs.
Prioritize systems that support departure-based governance to future-proof the investment. This is a critical success factor regardless of whether it concerns charging positions for real estate, BRF and partnerships or large facilities for transport and logistics. The more cars that charge at the same time, the greater the benefit of being able to intelligently distribute the power over all hours of the day.
Use our ROI calculator to see how quickly the investment in smart control pays off through reduced power charges.
Power tariffs aren't about limiting -- they're about governing smarter. By shifting charging to low load and avoiding power peaks, you create a more cost-effective and sustainable operation.

The new power tariffs mean grid companies charge based on the highest power peaks over a month, rather than just the total amount of energy. For property owners, this means that if many electric cars charge while the property has high other consumption, costs can rise sharply.
According to the decision of the Swedish Energy Market Inspectorate, all electricity network companies must have introduced time-differentiated power tariffs by 1 January 2027 at the latest. However, many network companies have already introduced these or plan to do so in 2025 and 2026.
The most effective way is to use smart control that moves the charge to times when the property's other load is low (often at night). Med Departure based management and a set power ceiling allows you to even out consumption and completely avoid the expensive power peaks without affecting user needs.
