Data presented by Minister of Foreign Trade and IT Kristjan Järvan (Isamaa) suggests that the CO2 quota fee makes up 47 percent of the Competition Authority's universal electricity service price.
All electricity consumers who are made the offer to switch to the universal service should do so, Minister of Entrepreneurship and IT Kristjan Järvan said on Friday, adding that the price of the universal services could rise or fall in the future.
Businesses switching to a proposed universal electricity service will, unlike their domestic counterparts, incur a fine in doing so, IT and Foreign Trade Minister Kristjan Järvan (Isamaa) says, ahead of a bill to roll out the service to companies and which is being expedited.
A bill reforming the electricity market, so far as domestic consumers are concerned, has passed at the Riigikogu. Customers may need to contact their electricity supplier to ensure the service is put in place for them, depending on what type of package they use and with what company.
