Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the four components of an Estonian electricity bill? +
An Estonian electricity bill consists of: (1) Electricity energy consumption (Nord Pool spot or fixed supplier price), (2) Elektrilevi network transmission fee (võrguteenus), (3) Statutory government levies (renewable energy fee and electricity excise), and (4) 22% Value Added Tax (käibemaks) applied across all components.
What is the difference between Elektrilevi Võrk 1, Võrk 2, and Võrk 4? +
Võrk 1 has zero monthly fixed charge but higher transmission cost per kWh (ideal for cottages or low consumption under 1,500 kWh/yr). Võrk 2 features dual day/night metering tariffs. Võrk 4 is designed for private houses with higher consumption, charging a monthly main fuse capacity fee (€/Ampere) alongside lower per-kWh distribution rates.
What is the renewable energy fee (taastuvenergia tasu) in Estonia? +
