Calculation of regulated electricity tariffs

  • For using the Greek Transmission System:

This tariff covers the running, maintenance and development costs of the Greek electricity transmission system which transfers electricity at high voltage through the pillars from the production plants to the sub-stations of the urban areas; subsequently, through the Greek electricity distribution network, electricity will reach the country's final consumers under medium and low voltage. The regulated tariffs are divided into a fixed tariff (resulting from the agreed level of supply power) and a variable tariff (depending on the level of consumption).

Calculation formula: 

(UFT (€/kVA/year) x kVA x Days of consumption/365) + (Unit Variable Tariff (€/kWh) x kWh)where,

UFT: Unit Fixed Tariff

UVT: Unit Variable Tariff

kWh: Kilowatt hours consumed during the period of consumption

kVA: Agreed power: it is the highest power agreed which a customer is entitled to absorb from the Greek electricity distribution network and is indicated in the electricity supply contract

Consumption days: The number of days of the consumption period

  • For using the Greek Transmission System:

Calculation formula: 
(UFT (€/kVA/year) x kVA x Days of consumption/365) + (Unit Variable Tariff (€/kWh) x kWh)x kWh/cos φ) where,
UFT:  Unit Fixed Tariff UVT: Unit Variable Tariff kVA: Agreed power: it is the highest power agreed which a customer is entitled to absorb from the Greek electricity distribution network and is indicated in the electricity supply contract

cos φ: Power factor: The power factor, cos(Φ), is calculated for certain categories of customers with high agreed power (>55 kVA) and is calculated based on the active and reactive power consumptions. For the remaining customers, the power factor is equal to one (cos(Φ)=1)

Consumption days: The number of days of the consumption period

  • Utility Services:

According to the legislation in force, Utility Services refer to: (a) electricity supply to consumers to the non-interconnected islands, with identical tariffs per category of consumers to those in the continental country; (b) electricity supply on a specific tariff to multi-member families, as defined under the legislation in force; (c) electricity supply on a special ‘Social Residential Tariff’ to vulnerable consumers, as such are defined by decision no.(Δ5-ΗΛ/Β/Φ29/16027/ 6.8.2010) by the Minister for the Environment, Energy and Climate Change, as modified and applied), and (d) electricity supply with a special ‘Solidarity Services Tariff’ (Δ5-ΗΛ/Β/Φ1.21/23824/23.12.2013) by a decision by the Deputy Minister of Energy and Climate Change). The unit rates for Utility Services are based on the applicable legislation.

Calculation formula: kWh x unit rate (€/kWh)

  • Special Duty of Gaseous Pollutants Emissions Reduction:

Pursuant to the legislation in force (article 40, L. 2773/1999, Government Gazette A' 286/22-12-99), this duty is determined for compensating producers of Renewable Energy Sources-derived electricity (RES). It constitutes our contribution to cutting down on gas emissions.

Calculation formula: kWh x unit rate (€/kWh)

The above charges do not include VAT. 6%. 

Regulated tariffs are the same for all consumers, depending on the invoice category, regardless of the supplier they have chosen, and relate to the charges borne by all consumers using electricity infrastructure (i.e. electricity transmission system charges, electricity distribution grid charges), public utility charges, and special duty of pollutants emissions reduction.
