My husband is going through the monthly bills and has noticed the kWh price seems a bit ridiculously high, the first photo is the unit price and yes that’s €/kwh not €cent. When I look up the tariff card on the Eneco website it lists a completely different rate that’s in €cent/kwh. Am I going mad or does this seem like blatant theft? Not sure where to ask on here, husband will try and call Eneco tomorrow to sort it but it just shocked us both.

  1. Maybe it’s a typo?

    If your monthly electric bill is €80 as mentioned in the letter, your cost probably isn’t 5€/kwh. That would mean you would only use 16kwh/month which is not much at all.

    The tariff card and the highlighted area shows the cost you need to pay to grid operator (distributienetbeheerder). It is only part of you electricity bill.

    Calculating your actual cost per kWh is not easy at all as you need to pay the energy supplier, the grid operator, and the government.

  2. Never heard of a supplier asking euro’s per KWh (except for car chargers…).
    Perhaps for a “leegstand” contract?

    You can always just switch to a new contracts, tis a 30 day wait period.

  3. as you stated earlier you didn’t use the property a lot?
    I think the fixed costs (enecos fee), Capaciteitstarief, ect (will be around 200 euro/year) combined with a low usage drives up your cost per kWh.
    So if you use more energy you’ll pay less per kWh;
