From July, 1300 Consumption Points to Change Electricity Seller

According to statistics provided by Andmeladu, more than 1300 consumption points will change their electricity seller from July.

At the beginning of May, over 600 consumption points changed electricity sellers and at the beginning of June, the number was over 400. Typically, changing sellers is higher at the beginning of the quarter.

In total, electricity purchase contracts have currently been concluded for approximately 576,000 consumption points. During the last month, the overall number of electricity contracts has increased by 800. According to the data given to the electricity sellers, approximately 410,000 consumption points use fixed term contracts and 166,000 use open-ended contracts.

At the moment, there are 136,000 consumption points that do not have an electricity contract or where universal service is used. This indicator has decreased by approximately 400 in a month. According to the overall number of contracts, 19 per cent of all consumption points use universal service, though based on the electricity consumed by them, their share of electricity consumption was only six per cent in May.

The market shares of sellers’ balance portfolios for the last few months can be seen in the table below. The calculation of portfolio shares is based on regional consumption capacities, which include network operators’ grid losses and universal service usage volumes. Supply to consumers fixed in advance has not been taken into account, as a result of which actual sales shares may differ slightly from those presented in the table.
