Description topics
- Natural gas
- 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 cubic meter of variable costs for the delivery of natural gas. 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.
- Variable delivery rate with price cap
- Average consumer price as calculated in “variable delivery rate contract prices” while taking into account the price cap enacted in 2023. The tariff was therefore a combination of the contract prices and the maximum price of the price cap, should the contract price exceed the price cap.
- ODE levy (sustainable energy surcharge)
- Surcharge on the use of electricity and natural gas meant to stimulate financing of the production of sustainable energy. Decided in the act Wet opslag duurzame energie- en klimaattransitie. The ODE levy has been cancelled from 1 January 2023 as a separate levy and included in the energy tax.
- Energy tax
- The government taxes the use of electricity and natural gas. Decided in the Environmental Taxes Act.
