The final household price with VAT

The exchange price is the electricity alone. A household bill adds the ESO distribution (network) price, the PSO levy with the supplementary component, and 21 % VAT. On the “Standartinis (standard), two time zones” plan, the exchange price of May 2023 works out at 19.4 ct/kWh.

ct/kWh
Exchange price (electricity) 7.80
ESO distribution price 8.27
PSO levy and supplementary component −0.02
VAT 21 % 3.37
Final price 19.42

Not included: the supplier’s margin (no supplier publishes one we could read, so none is assumed here) and the monthly fees, which are paid whatever the consumption.

On two-zone plans the night hours are cheaper, so a day’s or a month’s final price is worked out from how many of its hours billed at night (all day at weekends).

The ESO and VERT tariffs are in force until 2026-12-31; sources in the home charging comparison.
