“The components of the state-regulated part are the part of the total electricity bill that is usually reviewed twice a year. This time, the electricity distribution operator (ESO) component decreased. The other parts – the service tariff that meets the state’s interests and the additional distribution tariff – remain unchanged,” says Mantas Kavaliauskas, head of product development at Elektrum Lietuva.
According to the expert, users will receive smaller bills in the coming days. Electricity suppliers usually provide them by the 10th day of the month, when they receive data on residents’ electricity consumption for the previous month from ESO.
Speaking about the components of the electricity price, M. Kavaliauskas reminds that it consists of two parts – the price paid to an independent supplier and the part regulated by the state. If at least one of the parts changes, the total amount due also changes.
According to M. Kavaliauskas, the second part of the bill – the components of the state-regulated part – mainly consists of the forwarding fee. It also includes the distribution fee and the service component of public interest.
