Part of the electricity and gas invoice imposed on distribution, ie, What is injected to use the network, vary from one country to another.

What percentage of the light invoice is imposed on distribution companies in Europe? TheWhich countries pay more for delivery?? Also known as network rates, this area of ​​the invoice includes exchange and distribution costs.

The energy price code in homes (iPreh) made by Energy-Control Austria, Meek and Vasette provides a comprehensive break of electricity and gas prices to the residential final user. There are four elements in the fracture: energy, distribution, energy and wat line.

In April 2024, the distribution allocation at domestic electricity prices 11% of nicosia And 65% of the BudapestClosely with Amsterdam (60%). However, in Amsterdam, delivery fees will be reduced to 39% if tax revenues are not taken into account.

Cities such as Berlin (29%), Vienna (30%), talin (29%), Duplin (30%) and Brak (31%) have access to the EU average, which shows the moderate impact of delivery costs. In the capitals of the top five European economies, London and Madrid have the lowest distribution share, 18%.

How to explain the differences in the distribution percentage?

Rafaila Gregorio, who is responsible for the Heb Project and Vasett’s Greek office, and Johnis Koraz, the key analyst of Vasett’s Energy Market The costs of networks are determined in accordance with local requirements and national development and development strategies. A significant part of investment costs on national networks is an impact on the invoice of the final users through network rates.

“The inequalities between the markets are mainly caused by their investment plans, and they are required for electrification, ferrine infiltration, distributed generation. Ancient of the network infrastructureEtc. Gregorio and Koros ‘EuroNius’

Actions are not always a complete story

Vaasaett experts also pointed out the percentage of network costs in the total price list between countries In some cases does not always reflect the actual importance of network costs. This is especially true in cases that affect the energy components of the invoice.

Cities such as Budapest and Bukest clearly explain this effect. In Budapest, the power supply allocation is 65%, which is equal to 0.0594/kWh. Instead, the Bukest has low delivery fee, 42%, but the actual cost is 0.0675/kWh. This is due to Differences to the Electric Prices for the final user: Bukestil.1 Budapest in compared to 0.161/kWh .0 0.091/kWh. The same applies to gas supply in these cities.

Energy Crisis: Allocations vary significantly

Energy invoice distribution may vary depending on the country over time or in unusual situations. The invasion of Russian Ukraine in 2022 is a clear example of such a disruption, which occurred Sudden changes In the price of energy.

“From the beginning of the Energy Crisis.

“These activities They have affected both light and gas billAnd a small number of them is active in some markets. Slovenia is an example for the residential customers of electricity, ”he added.
