The prices are reported in national currencies per kWh and according to different bands of consumption. For the household sector, these bands are:
For the final non-household sector, the bands are:
There exist 2 different levels of disagregation for semestrial and annual prices: 1- Semestrial prices: These prices are reported twice a year and are divided in 3 levels:
2- Annual prices: These prices are reported once a year together with the data for the second semester and are divided into the following components and taxes:
In addition to these elements, the network cost is split into the respective shares of transmission and distribution. The relative share of consumption in the different consumption bands is reported by the countries and used to calculated the single national electricity prices (weighted averages for consumer bands IA-IF and DA-DE) but not published because it could be used to re-calculate some confidential values. |

Creates additional administrative burden for suppliers that can’t be quantified. Data collected is limited to what is necessary and electronic means are used to facilitate data collection. It is difficult, almost impossible to estimate the time necessary for the suppliers to collect, validate and submit the data to ANRE. The reason is that each supplier has a different type and number of clients, have their own internal organisation of the data related to their clients and different number of staff involved in this specific task.
From the ANRE perspective, 10-11 weeks are necessary to collect, validate and submit the data to NSI (equivalent of 1 person worked 20 days). From NSI perspective, 1 person worked 1 day, twice a year, to prepare and submit the data to Eurostat. |

|||

ANRE verified the data reported by suppliers. Several processing reports are used to check the data, respectively: using the correct measurement units, reporting electricity prices in the estimated ranges, reporting the VAT and excise duties is in accordance with the legal provisions. If inconsistences are identified, ANRE notifies suppliers to check the data and correct it. The process is repeated until ANRE validates the data received. |
