If in the first and second price categories, the calculations were made only for electrical energy (which automatically included the cost of consumed power), then the calculations of price categories 3,4,5,6 are carried out both for electrical energy and for power. However, the price of electricity can be significantly lower than in the first or second price category.

In order to understand the difference between 3.5 and 4 and 6 price categories, it is necessary to explain that the tariff for the service of electricity transmission through electric networks is about 50% of the entire final price of electricity for any price category. It is approved by the local executive authority in the field of state regulation of tariffs and can be divided into the following types:

1. One-sided;
2. Two-part.

As is clear from the name of the tariff type, a one-rate tariff is set for each kWh. transmitted energy and includes all costs for the transport of electricity. The two-part tariff is divided into a rate for electricity and a rate for capacity, and in total also includes all the costs of transporting electricity.

When choosing one or another tariff for the provision of electricity transmission services, the consumer chooses the possible price categories applicable to him. If he has chosen a one-part tariff for the provision of electricity transmission services, he can then choose 1,2,3 or 5 price category. If two-part - then only 4 or 6 price category (for more details on the procedure for choosing a price category, see the corresponding section of the site).

But let's get back to the order of calculations in the third-sixth price category: calculations for electricity in these price categories are made for each hour separately, and calculations for power are made for the value as a whole for the month.

The question arises how the volume of electricity consumed for each hour of the month is determined and how to determine the amount of power for the month as a whole.
In terms of electricity, everything is very simple - there are multi-tariff meters that store hourly electricity consumption in their memory for several months. It is only necessary to transfer its readings to the computer via the infrared port or using a flash drive and all the data will be on hand.

It should be noted that in accordance with the amendments made by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05/04/2012 No. 442, the procedure for calculating power and its cost for the 3rd and 5th price categories differs from the procedure for the fourth and sixth price categories:

The power consumption at a certain hour is the electricity consumption for the same hour. For example, from 19-00 to 20-00 your electricity meter showed consumption of 5 kWh, which means that your power consumption at that hour was 5 kW.

For the third and fifth price categories, power is calculated very simply: on weekdays of the month, electricity consumption is taken at the reporting hour (these hours are published on the website of JSC "ATS" and the website of the State Enterprise - ATC peak hours loads), then this consumption is summed up and the resulting amount is divided by the number of working days in a month (arithmetic mean). This capacity is presented at the purchase price from the wholesale electricity market, increased by a percentage of the sales allowance. For convenience, we will refer to it as the capacity paid to the wholesale market.

And for the fourth and sixth price categories, two capacities are calculated: the capacity paid to the wholesale market and the transmitted capacity. At the same time, the power paid for the wholesale market is calculated according to the above principle, and the transmitted power is calculated as follows: on weekdays of the month in a certain range of hours (for example, from 9 to 11 and from 15 to 20), the maximum electricity consumption established by the order of the System Operator is selected - planned peak hours of 2014 (or other period), then this consumption is summed up and the resulting amount is divided by the number of working days in a month (arithmetic average). Thus, the transmitted power will always be not lower than the power paid for the wholesale market.
In the examples below, it is proposed to consider the calculation procedure for 3 - 6 price categories.

During recent years The electricity industry has undergone many changes. One of the key ones is the introduction of market mechanisms for the formation of the cost of supplies. Today there are so-called price categories of electricity consumers. 442 Government Decree of 04.05.2012 regulates supplies for different user groups.

Relevance of the issue

Why are needed? Previously, the regulated model operated in the economy. However, in the process of transition to a new economic system, the tariffs for organizations that were in force in the past began to be replaced by market prices. They are formed in accordance with wholesale supply and demand. As is known, these factors are constant change. Accordingly, the wholesale price of electricity is also adjusted. This, in turn, is reflected in the cost of deliveries to end users.

Price categories of electricity consumers: definition

The new procedure for calculating the cost of supplies is effective from 1 January. 2012 Price categories of electricity consumers- Base rate options. The final cost of deliveries to users depends on the group. Choice of price category of electricity consumers carried out by the subject. Previously, there were two tariffs - one- and two-rate. Currently provided. It depends on the group how the cost of capacity purchased by the supplier on the wholesale market is included in the final cost, what transmission tariff is included in it. In addition, by category, the consumer determines whether he needs to plan hourly consumption for a day.

Nuances

Before considering in detail, it should be said that the regulations provide for some restrictions. First of all, they concern entities using receiving devices whose power is more than 650 kW. These persons cannot choose the first and second categories. The fourth and sixth groups are available to users connected directly to generators or to FGC UES networks. You should also be aware that the consumer must make the choice of category within a month from the date of publication of the tariffs. As a rule, the publication takes place at the end of December.

First group

In this purchase of capacity in the wholesale market is already included in the In this regard, the user pays the entire amount received per month. There is one line on the delivery invoice. charged at a flat rate. This group is available only to small users. The receiving devices must have a power of less than 670 kW. Calculations are made according to the volumes delivered per month. This category is used by most consumers.

Important point

As mentioned above, the consumer must select a category within the time limit. Users who did not notify the supplier of the transition to another group will be billed according to the first one. If in the previous year deliveries were carried out within another category, then it will automatically move to the next period. The only exception was for 2011/2012. During that period, users did not have metering devices, however, the calculation was made at a two-part tariff. Accordingly, for the first quarter of 2012, consumers were included in category 4. Let's say that the volume of deliveries per month is 1000 kWh. The tariff for the first category is 3.8 rubles. (without VAT). The total cost will be: 1000 x 3.8 = 3800 rubles.

Second option

This is also included in the price of electricity. However, the bill shows two or three amounts. This will depend on the variant of the second category. The user can use two-zone (day/night) and three-zone (peak/semi-peak/night) calculation methods. The supply is accounted for at a one-part rate. This category is not available for consumers using receivers with power over 670 kW.

Other groups

All but 3 and 5 are hourly. In the account, therefore, there will be two lines. The first indicates the indicator for electricity, the second - for power. 3 and 5 involve charging every hour. Accordingly, hourly accounting of deliveries is necessary. The transfer tariff is one-part, both for the first and second groups. In the fifth category, consumers are required to plan hourly for the day ahead. In this case, deviations from the estimated volume are paid separately. They are included in the price. The fourth and sixth groups provide for hourly pay. The amount of power is calculated separately, as in categories 3 and 5. But the transfer is included in the price at a two-part rate. This means that the user pays a separate rate for the maintenance of networks, losses in them. In this case, the latter is included, as a rule, in the price of electricity. In the account, therefore, there will be three lines. The first indicates the indicator for electricity, the second and third - for the purchase and transmission capacity, respectively. The sixth group, like the fifth, assumes the obligation of the user to plan hourly use and pay for deviations that have arisen.

Price categories of electricity consumers: comparison

Before understanding which option is more suitable for the user, it should be pointed out again that if the power of the receiving device is more than 670 kW, the subject can only make calculations for the third to sixth groups. To make the right choice, the consumer needs to answer the following questions:


Let's find the answer to the first question. To understand which tariff will be more profitable for the enterprise, you need to compare the cost of two-rate consumption with the established single-rate one. If it turns out that it is more profitable to pay for the latter, then it is advisable to use 3 or 5 groups. If a two-part tariff is more attractive, then you should choose between the second and sixth categories.

Planning for hourly deliveries

To determine this possibility, consider the following. The cost of the supplier for the third and fourth groups includes the sum of deviations of the actual hourly supply from the planned one by 5-7%. If the consumer believes that he can predict the volume more accurately, then the fifth or sixth category should be chosen. If there is no such confidence, then it is better to use the third or fourth groups. Experts recommend making calculations for several months or even for the whole year. This is due to the fact that during calculations it may turn out that in one period one category will be profitable, and in another, respectively, a completely different one.

Users with receivers less than 670 kW

All six categories are available to these consumers. It is much more difficult for these users to understand which group is better than for those who have access to 3-6. Most consumers traditionally work with suppliers in the first category. The cost of deliveries is calculated directly by the service company and is presented as a single rate value. It can be used integrally. This means that you can multiply the volume of monthly consumption by the price calculated by the supplier and get the final cost of electricity. In other groups, the calculation is performed by intervals or by daily zones. The first is carried out by the hour and is used in 3-6 categories. Daily zones are provided in the second group. Everything here will depend on the accounting devices.

If the devices do not allow you to receive hourly indicators, then only the first category will be available to the consumer. Without knowing the actual hourly volume, you cannot calculate the cost for other groups. If consumption is accounted for by the hour, then the only way to determine which category will be more profitable is to calculate the cost of all available options.

In accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 442 dated May 04, 2012 “On the functioning of retail electricity markets, complete and (or) partial restriction of the mode of consumption of electricity”, six price categories of electricity have been adopted within the retail electricity market.

  • Integral, that is, applied to the volume of consumption of electrical energy for certain period time - day, month etc. These prices are for one bid only.
  • Interval, then applied to hourly volumes of electrical energy consumption, where each hour can have its own price. This type of price involves two or more rates.

Integral includes the first and second price categories (CK1 and CK2)

The interval prices respectively include the third, fourth, fifth and sixth price categories (CK3, CK4, CK5 and CK6)

At the same time, consumers are also divided into two types:

  1. more 670 kW (consumers > 670 kW)
  2. consumers with maximum power less 670 kW (consumers< 670 кВт)

The indicator "maximum power" is the previously used term "connected power". The term was replaced upon the entry into force of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 442 dated May 04, 2012 “On the functioning of retail electricity markets, full and (or) partial restriction of the mode of consumption of electric energy” .

Maximum power is the maximum load corresponding to the simultaneous use of power receiving devices.

As a rule, the maximum power of the decree a in The act of delimitation of the boundaries of the balance sheet.

Otherwise, the maximum hourly consumption determined using control measurements is used to determine the type of consumer:

or over the past 5 years

or for the period when the control measurements were carried out, if this period is less than 5 years

Since July 01, 2013 introduced ban to choose the price category of electricity for individual consumers. That is, those consumers whose maximum power exceeds 670 kW cannot choose integral type price categories, that is, price categories from 3rd to 6th are available to them. .

Those consumers whose maximum power does not exceed 670 kW have the right to choose any from six price categories.

All consumers, regardless of the maximum power, require hourly metering of electricity consumption for the use of interval price categories.

It should be taken into account that the interval price categories:

1. Subdivided into:

  • prices NOT requiring hourly consumption planning (PPP) are: CK3 and CK4.
  • prices requiring hourly consumption planning (PPP) are: CK5 and CK6

2. Subdivided into:

  • prices from one-part transmission tariff is: CK3 and CK5.
  • prices from two-part transmission tariff is: CK4 and CK6

Differentiated only by voltage levels.

It is applied to the integral actual volume of consumption for the billing period (per month).

It differentiates in two ways:

(1) by day zones;

(2) by voltage levels.

It is divided into two-zone (day and night) and three-zone (night, peak and semi-peak) price.

It is applied to the integral actual monthly volume of consumption for the corresponding zone of the day.

Set when selected two-part electricity transmission tariff.

  1. The price category is determined by the group of supply points (GTP) - by the totality of supply points within the limits of the balance sheet belonging of the consumer's power receiver (the set of consumer's power receivers that have electrical connections between themselves through power grid facilities owned by the consumer)
  2. The wide range of options is just an illusion.
  3. The value of the price is the concern of the consumer. Now he (especially a consumer > 670 kW) can minimize the price only by changing consumption modes, including using his own generation.
  4. This now requires:
  • count: to determine the target consumption modes, choose the price category and control the calculations of the supplier of last resort
  • set hourly commercial accounting: voluntarily those consumers who<670 кВт для применения ЦК2-ЦК6, обязательно тем, кто >670 kW
  • set hourly technical accounting and adjust regular monitoring and regulation:

(1) the size of the actual power in the hours of KO and hours of CO, so as not to overpay for power, when using CK3-CK6

(2) the size of the actual energy consumption in expensive and cheap watches, so as not to overpay for "expensive" electrical energy

(3) the size of the reserved maximum power, so as not to overpay for the reservation

  • establish document flow and reporting to the energy sales organization on:

(1) the amount of declared capacity - once a year;

(2) hourly electricity consumption - daily or once a month, depending on the contract

(3) the value of the actual power in the hours of KO - monthly

(4) the value of the actual power in hours CO - monthly

(5) the selected Central Committee for the next month - monthly, if the consumer re-selects it every month

  • take into account the factors affecting the cost of electricity:

Otherwise - the overpayment for electricity is guaranteed!

If in the first and second price categories the calculations were made only for electric energy (which automatically included the cost of consumed power), then the calculations of price categories 3,4,5,6 are carried out both for electric energy and for power. However, the price of electricity can be significantly lower than in the first or second price category.

In order to understand the difference between 3.5 and 4 and 6 price categories, it is necessary to explain that the tariff for the service of electricity transmission through electric networks is about 50% of the entire final price of electricity for any price category. It is approved by the local executive authority in the field of state regulation of tariffs and can be divided into the following types:

1. One-sided;
2. Two-part
.

As it is clear from the name of the type of tariff, one-part tariff set for each . transmitted energy and includes all costs for the transport of electricity. Two-part tariff is divided into the rate for electricity and the rate for capacity and also includes all costs for the transport of electricity in total.

When choosing one or another tariff for the provision of electricity transmission services, the consumer chooses the possible price categories applicable to him. If he has chosen a one-part tariff for the provision of electricity transmission services, he can then choose 1,2,3 or 5 price categories. If dvuhstavony - then only 4 or 6 price category.

But let's get back to the order of calculations in the third-sixth price category: calculations for electricity in these price categories are made for each hour separately, and calculations for power are made for the value as a whole for the month.

The question arises how the volume of electricity consumed for each hour of the month is determined and how to determine the amount of power for the month as a whole.
In terms of electricity, everything is very simple - there are multi-tariff meters that store hourly electricity consumption in their memory for several months. It is only necessary to transfer its readings to the computer via the infrared port or using a flash drive and all the data will be on hand.

It should be noted that in accordance with the changes, the procedure for calculating power and its cost for the 3rd and 5th price categories differs from the order for the fourth and sixth price categories:

The power consumption at a certain hour is the electricity consumption for the same hour. For example, from 19-00 to 20-00 your electricity meter showed consumption of 5 , so your power consumption at that hour was 5 kW.

For the third and fifth price categories, the power is calculated very simply: on the working days of the month, the consumption of electricity is taken at the reporting hour (these hours are published on the website of JSC "ATS" and the website of the State Enterprise), then this consumption is summed up and the amount received is divided by the number of working days in the month (average). This capacity is presented at the purchase price of capacity from the wholesale market. For convenience, we will call it capacity paid to the wholesale market.

And for the fourth and sixth price categories, two capacities are calculated: power, paid to the wholesale market and transmitted power. At the same time, the power paid for the wholesale market is calculated according to the above principle, and the transmitted power is calculated as follows: on weekdays of the month in a certain range of hours (for example, from 9 to 11 and from 15 to 20), the maximum electricity consumption established by the order of the System Operator is selected , then this consumption is summed up and the resulting amount is divided by the number of working days in a month (arithmetic mean). Thus, the transmitted power will always be not lower than the power paid for the wholesale market.
In the examples below, it is proposed to consider the calculation procedure for 3 - 6 price categories.

There are prices for each hour of electricity and a price for power in general. Moreover, electricity prices for the third price category include a component of electricity transportation to the consumer (so to speak, the price of electricity delivery), but the price of power does not include. It should be noted that electricity prices for 1 and 2 ts.k. by default, they include a component of electricity transportation to the consumer.

Calculation example for the third price category:

Consumption in general for the month amounted to 1000 kWh, incl. by the hour:
1st day from 00-00 to 01-00 - 1 kWh;
from 1:00 to 2:00 - 1 kWh.
etc.
30th from 22-00 to 23-00 - 2 kWh.
From 23-00 to 24-00 - 1 kWh.
1st day from 00-00 to 01-00 - RUB 2.80 per kWh without VAT;
from 1:00 to 2:00 - RUB 2.81 per kWh without VAT;
etc.
30th from 22-00 to 23-00 - 2.88 RUB per kWh without VAT;
From 23-00 to 24-00 - RUB 2.76 per kWh without VAT;

1.5 kW.

The calculation of power, which assumes the 3rd price category, is very simple: on the working days of the month, the consumption of electricity is taken at the reporting hour (these hours are published on the website of JSC "ATS" and the website of the State Enterprise), then this consumption is summed up and the resulting amount is divided by the number of working days in month (arithmetic mean). For example, the reporting hour on the 1st is 20:00, on the 2nd - 21:00, on the 3rd - 20:00, etc.). Consumption during these hours is added up and the amount received is divided by the number of working days in the month. As a result, we obtain the amount of capacity paid for on the wholesale electricity market.
The power price was 250 rub. per kW.

Electricity cost at the 3rd price category is determined for each hour:
1 numbers from 00-00 to 01-00: 1*2.80 = 2.8 rub. without VAT;
from 1-00 to 2-00: 1*2.81 = RUB 2.81 without VAT;
etc.
30 numbers from 22-00 to 23-00: 1 * 2.88 = 2.88 RUB. without VAT;
From 23-00 to 24-00: 1*2.76 = RUB 2.76 without VAT;

The cost of electricity is thus determined for each hour separately, then summed up for all hours.
As a result for a month electricity cost is equal to 2800 rub. without VAT.
Power cost = 1,5 * 250 = 375 rub. without VAT.
Cost of consumption total \u003d cost of electricity + cost of power \u003d 2800 + 375 \u003d 3175 rubles. without VAT.

The third price category, as well as the fourth, fifth and sixth, can be used by the consumer in the billing period, subject to notification of the electricity supplier 10 working days before the start of the billing period. In this case, the supplier is obliged to make all calculations according to the price category specified in the notification.

The difference between the fourth price category and the third is only that, as mentioned above, in the third price category, the price for electricity includes the component of transporting electricity to the consumer (the price of electricity delivery, so to speak), but the price for capacity does not. In the fourth price category, everything is a little different.

The consumer who has chosen the 4th price category is presented with the following components for payment:

  • Electricity for each hour, while its price includes payment for transport only partially (the component for paying for electricity of a two-part tariff for the provision of electricity transmission services through electric networks. What is a two-part tariff for the provision of electricity transmission services is discussed above);
  • Power paid to the wholesale market. Its price does not include payment for electricity transport;
  • transmitted power. Its price is the rate for the capacity of the two-part tariff for the provision of services for the transmission of electricity through electric networks.

Consumption in general for the month amounted to 1000 kWh, including by the hour:
1st day from 00-00 to 01-00 - 1 kWh;
from 1:00 to 2:00 - 1 kWh.
etc.
30th from 22-00 to 23-00 - 2 kWh.
From 23-00 to 24-00 - 1 kWh
Prices for electricity for each hour:
1st day from 00-00 to 01-00 - RUB 1.30 per kWh without VAT;
from 1:00 to 2:00 - 1.31 RUB. per kWh without VAT;
etc.
30th from 22-00 to 23-00 - RUB 1.38 per kWh without VAT;
From 23-00 to 24-00 - RUB 1.36 per kWh without VAT;

The capacity paid to the wholesale market and determined in the order indicated below amounted to 1.5 kW.

The power paid for the wholesale market is considered very simply: on the working days of the month, the consumption of electricity is taken at the reporting hour (these hours are published on the website of JSC "ATS" and the website of the State Enterprise), then this consumption is summed up and the resulting amount is divided by the number of working days in the month (average arithmetic). For example, the reporting hour on the 1st is 20:00, on the 2nd - 21:00, on the 3rd - 20:00, etc.). Consumption during these hours is added up and the amount received is divided by the number of working days in the month. As a result, we obtain the amount of capacity paid for on the wholesale electricity market.

The price of capacity paid to the wholesale market was 250 rub. per kW.

The network power, determined in the order indicated below, was 1.6 kW.

Network capacity at the fourth price category is calculated a little differently: on the same working days of the month, but within a certain range of hours, which is approved by the system operator (these hours are called "planned peak hours" and are approved for the whole year and can be viewed in the site section " Normative documents"), the maximum hourly electricity consumption is selected, then this maximum consumption is summed up and the resulting amount is divided by the number of working days in a month (arithmetic average). For example, the system operator has set the range of hours from 8 to 11 and from 16 to 22 daily, the maximum hourly electricity consumption in this range is on the 1st at 10:00, on the 2nd - at 18:00, on the 3rd - at 21:00, etc.) . Consumption during these hours is added up and the amount received is divided by the number of working days in the month. As a result, we obtain the amount of capacity paid for on the wholesale electricity market.

The price for network capacity (which is equal to the rate for capacity of a two-part tariff for the provision of electricity transmission services) is equal to 800 rub. per kW.

Electricity cost at the fourth price category is determined for each hour:
1 numbers from 00-00 to 01-00: 1*1.30 = 1.3 rub. without VAT;
from 1-00 to 2-00: 1*1.31 = 1.31 RUB. without VAT;
etc.
30 numbers from 22-00 to 23-00: 1 * 1.38 = 1.38 RUB. without VAT;
From 23-00 to 24-00: 1*1.36 = RUB 1.36 without VAT;

As a result for a month the cost of electricity is 1300 rubles. without VAT.
Cost of capacity paid to the wholesale market = 1.5 * 250 = 375 rub. without VAT.
Network power cost = 1280 rub. without VAT
total consumption cost= cost of electricity + cost of power paid to the wholesale market + cost of transmitted power = 1300+375+1280 = 2955 rub. without VAT.

So, the main difference between the fourth price category and the third, this is that for the third price category, the cost of electricity transportation is included in full in the cost of electricity (the price for capacity does not include this transport component), and for the fourth price category, the cost of electricity transportation is included in both the cost of electricity and the cost of capacity, by adding in power transmission calculations. In other words, the price of electricity for the fourth price category is significantly lower than for the third price category, but the price of power for the fourth price category will be higher than for the third.

The calculation principle in the fifth price category is very similar to the third, but there is one significant difference: the consumer must plan his consumption for the month for each hour and send this data to the supplier in advance.

Thus, if in the third price category calculations are made for the actual volumes of electricity consumption, then in the fifth price category, the actual volumes of consumption are also calculated first, and then the cost of deviations from the plan is calculated.

It should be noted that the price for settlements after the fact in the fifth price category is approximately 5-7% lower than for the third price category. Therefore, if you plan consumption correctly, you can even reduce the final cost of electricity.

The power cost for the fifth price category is calculated in the same way as for the third price category.

Calculation example for the fifth price category:

Consumption in general for the month amounted to 1000 kWh, (at plan 1100) incl. by the hour:
1st day from 00-00 to 01-00 - fact 1 kWh; plan 1.5 kWh
from 1-00 to 2-00 - fact 1 kWh; plan 0.8 kWh
etc.
30th from 22-00 to 23-00 - fact 2 kWh; plan 1.5 kWh
From 23-00 to 24-00 - fact 1 kWh; plan 1.5 kWh

Electricity prices for each hour:
1 numbers from 00-00 to 01-00 - for the fact - RUB 2.65 per kWh; for the shortfall from the plan - 0,5; to bust off plan 0.7 rub. per kWh without VAT;
from 1:00 to 2:00 - RUB 2.60 per kWh; for the shortfall from the plan - 0,5 ; for enumeration from the plan 0.7 rubles. per kWh without VAT;;
etc.
30th from 22-00 to 23-00 - RUB 2.70 per kWh; for the shortfall from the plan - 0,5 ; to bust off plan 0.7 rub. per kWh without VAT;
From 23-00 to 24-00 - 2.52 RUB per kWh; for the shortfall from the plan - 0,5 ; to bust off plan 0.7 rub. per kWh without VAT;;

The power, determined in the above order, was 1.5 kW.
The power price was 250 rub. per kW.

The cost of electricity is determined for each hour:
1st day from 00-00 to 01-00: fact: 1*2,65 = 2.65 RUB. without VAT;
Deviation from the plan (fee for shortfall from the plan): (1,5-1)*0,5=0.25 RUB. without VAT;
Total: 2,65+0,25=2.9 rub. without VAT.
Etc.
The cost of electricity is thus determined for each hour separately, then summed up for all hours.
As a result for a month electricity cost is 3000 rub. without VAT.
Power cost = 1.5 * 250 = 375 rub. without VAT.
Price total consumption= cost of electricity + cost of power = 3000+375 = 3375 rubles. without VAT.

The calculations for the sixth price category are similar to the calculations for the fourth price category. The only difference (as well as the fifth from the third price category) is the need to plan hourly consumption and provide this data to the supplier. Calculations in the sixth price category are made both for the actual volumes of consumption and for the deviation of the fact from the plan.

That's all the basic principles of price categories.

In this article, we will look at each price category and what it consists of. Read about how to choose the most favorable price category.

What are electricity price categories? - These are electricity tariff options of the supplier of last resort. The consumer chooses the price category himself; the final price of electricity for the consumer largely depends on the correctly chosen price category.

The specialists of our company are ready to check for free the optimality of the selected price category for a particular consumer, for this you need.

Price categories are tariff options for the consumer, there used to be two of them (one-part and two-part), and now there are six of them. What makes up the price of electricity can be read in detail. The price category determines how the final price includes the price of electricity and capacity purchased by the supplier at and which price is included in the price, as well as whether the consumer will need to plan hourly consumption for the day ahead (price categories 5 and 6), this is clearly seen in.

When choosing price categories, there are some restrictions, for example, consumers with a maximum power of power receiving devices of more than 670 kW are prohibited from choosing the first and second price categories, and only the fourth and sixth are generally available to consumers who are powered directly from generators, as well as consumers connected to FGC UES networks. Check out .

It is also important for the consumer to remember that you need to choose the price category within 30 days from the moment the tariffs for electricity transmission are published, usually this happens at the end of December.

Let's take a closer look at each of the price categories in order to understand how they differ:

First price category

The purchase price of capacity in the WECM is already included in the price of electricity, so the consumer pays for the entire volume consumed per month at one price, in the electricity bill - one line. Electricity transmission is included in the price at a one-part tariff. This price category is available only to small consumers, with a maximum power of power receivers less than 670 kW.

Second price category

Power is also included in the price of electricity as in the first category, however, there will be two or three prices on the bill, depending on which option of the second price category was chosen by the consumer, it can be two-zone (day / night) and three-zone (peak / semi-peak / night ). The transmission is also taken into account at a one-part tariff, the price category is also not available for consumers over 670 kW.

Third and fifth price categories

In all price categories except for the first and second, electricity is paid by the hour, there are two lines in the electricity bill - electricity and power. Read more about what power is. Electricity is charged every hour at a different price, so hourly electricity metering is required to work at these price categories. The transmission tariff is taken into account as a one-part tariff, as in the first and second price categories. In the fifth price category, the consumer is obliged to plan his hourly consumption for the day ahead and pay for deviations, they are included in the price of electricity.

Fourth and sixth price categories

Electricity is paid by the hour, separate payment for power is charged, as in the third and fifth price categories. However, the transmission is included in the price already at a two-part tariff, that is, the rate for the maintenance of networks and the rate for losses in the networks are paid separately, while the rate for losses is usually included by the supplier in the price of electricity. Therefore, there are usually three lines in the bill: electricity, power purchase and power transmission. “Transmission capacity” is the payment of a rate for the maintenance of a two-part transmission tariff, read more about how it is calculated. In the sixth price category, as well as in the fifth, there are obligations to plan hourly consumption and pay for deviations. These price categories are available to everyone without exception. legal entities- electricity consumers.

Electricity Power Losses in networks Network content
I Electricity includes the price of power and is calculated as a whole for the billing period at one price the one-part transmission tariff, the loss rate and the maintenance rate are reduced to the same amount charged per kWh.
II Electricity includes the price of power and is calculated separately for each of the zones of the day (Day/Night or Night/Half-Peak/Peak)
III The price of electricity is calculated on an interval basis (different every hour of the month) Power is paid as a separate product, the amount of power is determined depending on the load of the consumer during peak hours
IV The rate for losses is multiplied by the amount of electricity consumed per month The content rate per transmission is multiplied by the amount of network capacity
V Similar to I, II and III price categories
VI Similar to IV price category
