What, you don't have that? My electric bill has a rate, a rate for the network, a subscription fee, electricity green taxes, and sales tax. I'm European.

The entire breakdown of my electricity bill in the UK is a rate for energy use, a standing charge that is independent of usage, and VAT. Strictly speaking I've got two different usage rates because my heating is on a separate meter, but that's an unusual situation

Australia checking in. We have the price per Kw, and the number of Kw consumed.

Also Australian. I get a $0.87 per day supply charge plus kWh used.

Here it boils down to:

  • Network power (fixed fee based on your max power needs, depends on time as well, can be 3.6€ / kw in winter months)
  • Network energy transfer (fee for energy transfered, here its about 0.018€/kwh)
  • Energy (fee on the energy used, about 0.146€/kwh right now)
  • VAT
  • some bullshit for maintenance and running an open market portal for companies to buy/sell energy (like 1-3€)

Nothing beats Portugal:

  • Kwh rate
  • Social electricity finance tax
  • General economic costs fee
  • Infrastructure utilization fee
  • Energy and geology exploration tax
  • Electricity consumption Special tax
  • Audiovisual contribution
  • Sales tax

Audiovisual contribution? I love it 10/10 no notes

It's to finance the Portuguese version of BBC. Called RTP. The funny part is that it's also used for the sales tax calculation, so there is a tax fee

Usually taxes and transmission fees are rolled into the kWh Price you are shown when enrolling into the contract
