Cost structure

Components of network access fees

Cost of network infrastructure

Provision and maintenance of power lines, switching stations, transformers and other transmission grid equipment (points of use ‘Extra high voltage network’ and ‘Transformation – EHV/HV’).

Cost of system services

Services, which are necessary for transmission and distribution of electricity, and which ensure the safety and reliability of the power supply. These include primary control reserve and power, the provision of secondary control reserve and minute reserve, and operation of the transmission grid, including the point of use ‘Transformation – EHV/High voltage’.

Cost of covering transmission losses

The electrical losses that arise during transmission of electricity through the transmission grid.

Determination of Charges

The network access fees comprise an annual demand charge and energy charge. These depend on the annual period of utilisation, the network customer’s point of connection and the optional use of other services.
