Public Electricity公共電費

A foreign tenant who just moved in recently rushed over to our agent with his electricity bill, looking a bit puzzled. His company’s taking care of rent, parking, and building management fees, so why, he wondered, does he still have to pay a “Public Facilities Electricity Fee”? What on earth is this mysterious “Public Facilities Electricity”? Is his landlord ripping him off?

 

Q: What is Public Electricity?

Most buildings have common areas such as elevator lights, lobby lighting, water towers, or even gyms, pools, and lounges in the fancier places. Even if it’s just stairways and entryways lighting, these shared spots use electricity, and that cost is split among all residents and called “Public Facilities Electricity.”

 

Q: What types of electricity are included?

In short, it’s any electricity that’s not specifically for your apartment. There are two kinds:

  1. Major(Big) Public Areas-大公: Lobbies, pools, gyms, security rooms, and other communal spaces.
  2. Minor(Small) Public Areas-小公: Stairwell lights, elevator power, etc.

  

 

Q: How is Public Electricity paid?

Generally, there are three ways this gets handled, and the building developer decides on it with Taiwan Power when the place is built:

  1. Covered by Management Fees: All public electricity costs are lumped together and covered by your monthly management fee. Easy!
  2. Included in Your Bimonthly Bill: Public electricity is split up and added to your personal electricity bill every two months.
    So your bill would includes:     Your own electricity use + A portion of the public electricity cost.
  3. Mixed Method: Major public area costs come out of the management fee, while minor public area electricity costs get split across your bimonthly bill.

剛搬進大樓的外國人住戶，急匆匆的拿著電費單來找上品房屋業務營業員，他疑惑地問，公司替他租了房屋，也支付房租、車位租金、管理費等費用，但需要自己支付的水、電、瓦斯費帳單中，怎麼電費單上會又另外有寫「公共設施電費」的帳單？什麼是「公共設施電費」或簡稱「公共電費」呢?

 

Q什麼是公共設施電費？

許多社區及大樓，普遍有電梯、梯廳與大廳的照明，以及水塔等各種公共設施，提供所有住戶使用，或有更豪華的社區有交誼廳、健身房、游泳池、視廳室等等。即使是沒有電梯的公寓，也會有樓梯間及大門一樓的電燈費用需要支付。使用這些公共設施產生的電費統稱為公共設施電費，需由社區或大樓的所有住戶共同分擔。

 

Q那些類別的電費屬於公共電費？

公共電費產生自公共設施用電，簡單來說就是「非住戶私有」部分的用電，包含使用「大公設」和「小公設」產生的費用就是公共電費。

「大公」（大公設）：指全體住戶共同使用，如大廳、門廳；游泳池、健身房和宴會廳等休閒設施；警衛室和電氣室、配電室、電機房等；

「小公」（小公設）：指各層樓梯間的電燈、電梯等電費。

 

Ｑ公共電費如何支付？

一般來說有三種支付方式。這三種支付方式，都是在大樓建造完成時，建商就和台灣電力公司申請辦理完成。

1.所有公共設施電費由大樓管理費支付：
所有大公及小公的電費，由台電公司用一張單獨的電費單列出計算，社區使用了多少的公共電費，都由社區住戶每月支付的管理費支出。住戶除了每月繳交的管理費用外，不用另外再支付大樓公共設施電費。

2.所有公共設施電費，分攤到每二個月的每戶電費單內支付：
大公、小公的電費，由台電依照用電量平均每二個月計算包括分攤公共電費等平均分攤在所有住戶的電費單內。所以所有住戶的電費單內，會有二個部份的電費：

A)住戶住家內所有電器使用產生的電費。
B)每二個月大樓大公及小公的電費，平均分攤到所有住戶的電費帳單內。

3. 部份公共設施電費由大樓管理費支付，部份分攤到每二個月的每戶電費單內支付：
大公設的電費，由台電公司用一張單獨的電費單列出計算，由社區住戶每月支付的管理費支出。小公設的電費，則在每二個月住戶室內電器用電電費外，平均分攤到所有住戶的電費帳單內。
