How is a Latvian household electricity bill structured?
A Latvian electricity bill consists of three main components: (1) Active energy supply price from your chosen retail electricity provider (e.g. Latvenergo / Elektrum, Enefit, Tet); (2) AS "Sadales tīkls" distribution and transmission tariffs approved by the SPRK; and (3) 21% Value Added Tax (PVN).
What is the difference between Sadales Tīkls Pamata and Speciālais plans?
The "Pamata" (Basic) tariff plan has a higher fixed monthly capacity maintenance charge but a much lower fee per consumed kWh (~€0.0408/kWh), making it optimal for continuous residential use. The "Speciālais" plan has a very low monthly capacity charge but a high per-kWh transmission fee (~€0.1580/kWh), designed for seasonal cottages or properties with zero or minimal winter consumption.
Can Latvian households reduce electricity capacity costs?
Yes. If a household has an oversized electrical connection (e.g. 3-phase 25A or 32A when only 16A or 20A is needed), property owners can request a free or low-cost amperage downgrade through the Sadales tīkls customer portal to significantly lower their fixed monthly bill.
Is there state compensation for distribution system charges in Latvia?
The Latvian government periodically implements statutory caps and legislative subsidies on distribution capacity charges to protect single-phase and typical 3-phase households against rapid utility inflation.
Does VAT apply to the Sadales Tīkls distribution component?
Yes. The statutory 21% Value Added Tax (PVN) applies to all components of the invoice, including the fixed connection capacity charge, per-kWh distribution tariffs, and active electricity consumed.
