The tariffs are applied in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 of the Main Distribution Activity Tariffs Regulation in €/kWh for the energy fee and in €/kWh/h for the Capacity Fee, in accordance with the Code of Distribution Network Operation
Industrial Tariffs apply to Customers supplied with natural gas for industrial use, including cogeneration, whose actual consumption in the last twelve months was greater than 2,2 GWh per consumption site. These also include natural gas compression facilities (CNG).
Concerning Reserved Capacity and Capacity Fee:
A. For delivery points where no metering by the hour is carried out, the Maximum Technical Capacity of the natural gas Meter in kWh/h is used.
B. For delivery points where metering by the hour is carried out, the Distribution User’s capacity declaration-commitment for each Delivery Point in kWh/h, as Annexed to the Use Contract, is used for the relevant calculation.
Also, in accordance with Article 18(1)(A) of the Tariffs Regulation: ‘The Capacity Fee is calculated and invoiced per Distribution User who serves the Delivery Point concerned, based on Reserved Capacity, depending on the number of Days per Month on which the Delivery Point is active and the Use Contract is in force’. To apply this provision, the Capacity Fee is converted into a daily fee and is applied for the days on which the Delivery Point is active, and the Use Contract is in force. The above provision applies both for delivery points where metering by the hour is carried out and those where there is no metering by the hour.
In calculating the fees, the figures are rounded up to 4 decimal points, in accordance with the Tariff Approval Decisions, and the final fees are rounded up to 2 decimal points in €.
For delivery points where no metering by the hour is carried out, the following daily capacity fees are determined, assuming a rated calorific value of 11,15 kWh/Nm3.
For Delivery Points where no metering by the hour is carried out, the capacity fee is calculated for each Point separately, on the basis of the Hourly Reserved Capacity.
