time-dependent service fees and electricity rates Explanation: time-dependent service fees and electricity rates >>Tarif ohne Leistungsmessung bis 20.000 kWh/Jahrohne Schwachlastregelung: Arbeitspreise Leistungspreise Pf/kWh DM/Jahr [chart] http://www.stadtwerke-guestrow.de/html/strom.htm Regarding 'durch zeitliche Verzögerungen' (which could mean ‘due to delays’ or “by delaying/postponing”, though that doesn’t quite seem to fit) it would be good to have more context: what is being delayed, by whom … etc.? HTH a little anyway. Tom Google (see above0 |

period of time related service and labour rates Explanation: I think that the author means that the rates (I suppose here that you do not have any problem with Leistung = service and Arbeit = Workmanship) are depending on the time of the day (or night). This is very common in electricity distribution because the rates are usually lower during the low activity periods of the day (usually at night). "Zeitliche Verzögerungen" means normally "time delays". Here I think that the author tries to explain that these administrative delays could cause credit note demands (Gutschriftsanforderungen) from customers to be paid twice (Doppelzahlungen), I suspect because the customer asked a second time while his demand had already been accepted but not yet paid and that the records of the company showed this fact (not paid) and there was then a second paiment acceptation!!! All this text is however very nebulous Good Luck nothing can be referenced here |

time-related tarifs and labourcosts Explanation: it is even more complicated!!!! not only are there peak rates and "night" rates, but these accounts appear to stretch over a long period of time, so there have been rate changes as well. it could, therefore, mean changes in the time of day use, as well as rate changes from one year, or period to the next. good luck British energy consumer |

hourly rates for services and work performed Explanation: Hourly rates for services and work performed, credits, additional price adjustments for monthly, discounted or annual invoices are only a few examples of the discrepancies. Since "zeitabhängig" really means "hourly" as basic unit of billing, this is generally used in US business vernacular. |
