Is the total electricity consumed in a billing period calculated by blocks in the invoices issued by the universal supplier EVN Home?

The calculation and invoicing of consumed energy (kWh) according per block tariffs applies only to the energy consumed in VT (peak tariff) among consumers in the household category.

Consumption in NT (off-peak tariff) is not calculated by blocks and is charged at a single price per kWh in accordance with the decision of the ERC.

For consumers in the small consumer category, the consumed electricity is not divided into blocks, it is charged at a single price per kWh in accordance with the decision of the ERC.

Will the total energy I consume be billed in the 4th block if I exceed 1050 kWh?

According to the price decisions made by the Energy Regulatory Commission, the blocks are as follows:

Block 1 up to 210 kW
Block 2 from 211 kW to 630 kW
Block 3 from 630 kW to 1050 kW
Block 4 above 1050 kW

E.g. If a household consumes 1000 kWh in one calculation period (of which 750 kWh in PT and 250 kWh in OPT), billing will be carried out in the following way:

210 kWh at the price for Block 1 (PT)
420 kWh at the price for Block 2 (PT)
120 kWh at the price for Block 3 (PT)
In this case there is no PT consumption in Block 4
250 kWh at the price for OPT

Does the off-peak tariff for households remain?

The off-peak tariff continues to apply as before in the period from 22:00 to 07:00 every working day and Saturday, whereas on Sunday during the entire day.

For which consumers are the block tariffs intended?

Block tariffs are intended only for consumers in the household category and only for consumption in the peak tariff.

How is the size of the block determined?

The block is determined by the number of days in a billing period. That is, depending on whether it is 28, 30, 32 days of meter reading. The basic blocks are formed on an ideal 30-day readout, but they are flexible in terms of meter reading days. This is done so that all consumers have equal treatment regardless of the meter reading period.

Block 1: < 210 kWh (<= 7 kWh/day)	Block 2: 210 kWh < 630 kWh (7 kWh/day < 21 kWh/day)
Block 3: 630 kWh < 1.050 kWh (21 kWh/day < 35 kWh/day)	Block 4: > 1.050 kWh (> 35 kWh/day)

Regardless of the length of the billing period for the invoice, the most important is the daily consumption (kWh). That is,

0 – 7 kWh per day at the price for Block 1
7 – 21 kWh per day at the price for Block 2
21 – 35 KWh per day at the price for Block 3
Over 35 kWh per day at the price for Block 4

I have a single-tariff meter, will I continue to pay average tariff under the changes to the tariff system?

Consumers who have a single-tariff meter can submit a request (general request) to replace the single-tariff with a dual-tariff meter, upon which Elektrodistribucija will act.

Even without the requirements, Elektrodistribucija already has guidelines for replacing all single-tariff meters with dual-tariff ones. Meters that for certain reasons cannot be replaced will receive invoices only for the peak rate, until they are replaced.

Is my meter being read and how often?

According to the Supply Rules, the obligation of Elektrodistribucija to read the meters is quarterly. Most of the meters are read much more often than the statutory period. The reading depends on several factors, among which the accessibility of the metering point, permission to read, etc.

Will I be able to report the status of the meter myself?

Each consumer can report the status of the meter. The most efficient and economical way to report electricity consumption is through EVN's online platform on the week of the meter reading.

Is the electricity consumed in peak tariff (VT) divided into blocks in the invoices for shared consumption (buildings/housing councils), issued by the universal supplier EVN Home?

Yes, the shared consumption in buildings/housing councils in peak tariff-VT is divided into blocks, because those consumers also fall into the household category.

I have multiple meters registered to a single customer number. Will the monthly consumption be calculated for each meter separately according to the tariff system?

Yes, the billing of consumption will be done for each individual meter.

My meter has not been read for several months and I have received bills that I believe are unrealistically high. I have read the meters. Can I request a correction of the invoice?

Yes, a consumer can request an invoice correction. If possible, we invite you to report the status of your meter on our web platform evnonline.mk. We remind you that the meter report should be submitted in the week when your meter is usually read in order for that balance to be taken into account in the invoicing process.

Regarding the previous question, how will the consumption be distributed by blocks to correct the invoices according to the balances I reported, since the meter has not been read for several months?

In order for consumption to be correctly invoiced according to the new Tariff System, we will take into account the last date when the meter was read. From that date until the date of notification of the balance by you, the consumption will be proportionally divided according to the Blocks on a daily basis. Let's assume that the last reading date of the meter was 01.07.2022. Since then, the meter has not been read, and you reported the balance on 30.09.2022 (E.g. 1300 kWh in PT and 400 kWh in OPT). The period is 92 days. The allocation blocks would be:

Only the consumption in the peak tariff (1300 kWh) is distributed by blocks:

92 x 7 kWh/day = 644 kWh at the price for Block 1 (656 kWh remain for allocation).
92 x 14 kWh/day = 1288 kWh at the price for Block 2 (since 656 kWh remain for allocation, they will be invoiced at the price for Block 2).

What items are in the invoice for a business/industrial customer that is supplied by the universal supplier EVN Home?

Energy VT	x kWh	x day/kWh	x day

In the electricity invoices issued by the universal supplier EVN Home for small consumers, SOHOs, legal entities (which are not considered households), is the electricity consumed in the peak tariff divided into blocks?
