Tariff Structure Statement
Evoenergy is required to publish a Tariff Structure Statement (TSS) which provides detailed information about the network tariffs we charge to electricity retailers, and how these may change in the future.
Tariff Structure Statement 2019-24
Our TSS forms part of our five-year electricity network plan, which describes the investments we need to make to operate a safe and reliable electricity network in the ACT. When we develop our five-year plan, we consult widely with customers about how we can design tariffs that best suit the community and their changing energy needs. Before they can come into effect, our tariffs and prices are approved by the Australian Energy Regulator.
Network charges on your electricity bill
Evoenergy passes through its network charges to electricity retailers, which then set the prices you pay for using electricity.
Evoenergy’s network charges are just one part of the total cost you pay for using electricity. Your electricity bill also reflects costs from your energy retailer (including the cost of buying electricity from generators), as well as jurisdictional charges set by the ACT Government.
Evoenergy’s network charges make up around 24% of your total electricity bill and include the following costs:
Distribution and transmission costs
This covers the costs of moving electricity from generators along the transmission lines (transmission charges), and then through our local distribution network to your home or business (distribution charges).
The AER determines how much revenue we can collect for the electricity network and checks our charges each year to make sure they recover the right amount of revenue and are reasonable. We’re focused on ensuring we operate the network efficiently, while keeping these costs as low as possible.
Jurisdictional charges
This covers the costs of jurisdictional obligations including ACT Government taxes, levies, and feed-in tariff schemes.
In 2016, the ACT Government legislated a target to source 100% renewable electricity by 2020, and the ACT reached that target in 2019.
To maintain this, the government works with solar and wind generators across Australia under LFiT scheme. We are responsible for administering the ACT Government’s LFiT scheme, including making payments to generators on behalf of the government. The costs of these payments are passed on to ACT electricity retailers and can change from year to year based on the prices in the wholesale energy market.
