Additional services
Equal payments ensure bills with the same amount in summer and winter. If you have chosen a package with exchange price, then we take into account the first 12-month average exchange price in the Nord Pool EE (Estonia) area, and your personal consumption profile. These will help us to find the weighted average exchange price that corresponds your consumption data. Then we will add VAT and our sales mark-up and multiply it by your expected consumption data submitted by Elering.
We keep a record of the difference between your equal monthly payments and the actual amount of monthly costs during the calendar month.
If the amount that you are paying is higher than the actual consumed amount. In this case, the exceeding amount will be referred to as a prepayment for the next period (i.e. a positive balance). But it may happen, that the actual consumed amount is higher than your monthly payment. In this case, the difference will be referred to as a negative balance. We will add positive or negative balances of previous months to a positive or negative balance for the calendar month. The result is a summary of the difference between the paid amount and the projected costs.
If the agreement is terminated with a negative balance in the middle or at the end of the Price Period, the amount is due. If the agreement is terminated with a positive balance, we will pay the amount back to you, if it will happen at the end of the Price Period and not in the middle of it. Expenses and prepayments may be transferred to the next Price Period, in case you decide to continue your agreement with us. If we notice that the difference between your estimated cost and the actual cost is greater than 20%, we have a right to recalculate your estimated cost. As a result, the amount of the equal payment will change.
