Network service charges for small-scale production (max. 1,000 kVA) in low and medium voltage networks
Energy input into the network
| product | VAT 0 % | VAT 25,5 % | cost/ kWh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low voltage network (0.4 kV) | 0,00 | 0,00 | c/kWh |
| Medium voltage network (10 or 20 kV) | 0,00 | 0,00 | c/kWh |
Energy output from the network
Each electricity plant must have a valid network service agreement entitling to the consumption of electricity, according to which the consumption network service charges specified in the network service price list are charged.
Selling small-scale production
To sell small-scale production into the electricity network, you must enter into an agreement with the electricity vendor of your choice. Information on electricity vendors that buy small-scale production can be found, for example, in the Sahkonhinta.fi electricity comparison service provided by the Energy Authority.
The valid Network Service Terms approved by the Energy Authority will apply to the network service presented in the price list.
Electricity Tax
The producer is responsible for determining their electricity tax liability and for paying electricity tax on the portion of electricity produced for their own consumption.
When the generating plant capacity is:
Up to 100 kVA
No electricity tax liability regardless of whether the producer consumes the electricity themselves or sells it to the grid.
Over 100 kVA and annual production up to 800,000 kWh
No electricity tax liability. However, the producer must submit a registration notification to the Finnish Tax Administration as an electricity taxpayer and file an excise duty return once per year on the electricity produced so that the annual production limit can be monitored.
Over 100 kVA and annual production over 800,000 kWh
Electricity tax liability applies and a normal excise duty return must be submitted to the Finnish Tax Administration monthly, regardless of whether the electricity is fed into the grid or not.
