Honest energy bill
Energy costs
Variable delivery costs energy
The price for fixed delivery costs differs per contract type: fixed, variable, or dynamic. These costs depend on the amount of consumed energy. For energy, this concerns the consumed energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Fixed delivery costs energy
This is a fixed amount per month that isn't directly related to the price per kWh. These are operational and administration costs, for example. If you have solar panels, you pay more fixed delivery costs per month than without solar panels.
Government
The government sets the taxes. VAT (now 21%) is charged on all parts of the energy bill. We'll charge for these taxes, but have no control over the amount. We transfer the tax you pay to the Dutch Tax Administration one-to-one.
Energy taxes electricity and gas
With taxes on electricity and gas, the government wants to encourage households to consume energy efficiently and consciously.
Reduction energy taxes
Because energy is a basic necessity, you don't pay taxes on part of your energy consumption. This amount is determined every year and is the same for every household.
Feed-in tariff
You generate power with solar panels. Net-metering means that you can offset the energy you generate with solar panels to your total usage. This happens on the final settlement of your annual contract. Here, we'll check how much solar power you generated and what your consumption was in the past year. Did you generate more than you consumed? You'll receive a feed-in tariff.
Network operator costs
Every region in the Netherlands has its own network operator that's responsible for the installation, maintenance, and management of the energy network. You pay the network operating costs to us monthly. We'll then hand this over to your network operator. You pay these costs for the maintenance and transport of the energy to your home.
