Salderen definition
Salderen means balancing. In this regulation, the balancing is applied on the energy bill. When a prosumer is generating a part of his energy locally, the prosumer does not have to pay tax over the part that is delivered back to the grid but used on another moment. To clarify this rule, an example of this rule is given: A prosumer consumes 4500 kWh per year. This same prosumer also generates 2000 kWh. 1000 kWh of this 2000 kWh is used immediately and 1000 kWh is sent back to the grid. On the energy bill of the prosumer the 2000 kWh will be deducted from the 4500 kWh. So that means that the prosumer has to pay his bill for 2500 kWh. This balancing rule is implemented on the 1st of January, 2014 and will continue till at least 2023 (Consuwijzer, 2016).
