RAE: New charges for the electricity network from 2023

A new methodology for the calculation of charges for the electricity distribution network (DEDDIE) is implemented from January 1 with a decision of the Energy Regulatory Authority that prioritizes the charging of consumers based (primarily) on the power of their installations and less on the amount of consumption.

Overall, the amount that the Operator will collect from consumers does not change. But the new methodology for calculating charges – as RAE president Athanasios Dagoumas explains to APE-MEP – can create an incentive for consumers who have over-dimensioned their benefits (e.g. they have three-phase benefits while they could cover their needs with single-phase), to proceed with the required modifications in order to have lower charges on the electricity bills.

According to the RAE data, in European countries both models are applied for the calculation of network charges: from charges based exclusively on the energy consumed (Cyprus, Lithuania, Romania) to exclusively on power (Italy).

But the trend according to the reports of the European authorities is towards charges based on the power of the installation, a development that directly affects the network charges for electric vehicle chargers that are multiplying on European and Greek roads.

In Greece, network charges today correspond to 80% of energy, a percentage that from 2023 according to the decision of RAE will be limited to 10% with the remaining 90% depending on the power of the installation.

This week, moreover, the Authority is expected to launch an information campaign on energy saving in cooperation with consumer organizations that will include a video, a brochure and a website where consumers will be able to declare household appliances (kitchen, air conditioner, water heater, etc.) and the hours per day they use them, their supplier’s invoice and to see the cost of use per device but also the savings they can have by replacing their devices with energy-efficient ones or transferring consumption to the night hours (provided they have a night consumption meter) .

For large consumers, the ADMIE is about to activate a platform for submitting offers to reduce demand during peak hours (6-9 pm) in order to achieve the target set by the EU to limit electricity consumption during these periods by 5 %.
