    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

      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€)
