Electricity
Transport rate
Average consumer prices per year for transport of electricity or gas, destined for the network operator. The actual amount may vary dependent on the region of habitation.
Fixed delivery rate
Average consumer prices of fixed costs for the delivery of electricity or gas. The actual amount may vary dependent of the type of contract, the duration of the contract and the energy supplier of choice.
Variable delivery rate contract prices
Average consumer prices per kilowatt hours of variable costs for the delivery of electricity. Both existing contracts and new contracts are part of this average price. Government measures such as the price cap do not influence the average price. The actual amount per household may vary depending on the type of contract, the duration of the contract and the energy supplier of choice.
