EULECTRIC PAPER - DRIVERS OF ELECTRICITY BILLS - FEBRUARY 2016

Taxes and policy support costs (PSCs) are still pushing electricity prices up for end users. In fact, between 2008 and 2014, policy support costs (Levies) have increased on average by 170% for households. In 2014, the weight of the taxes & PSCs component almost equates the energy & supply component for the average residential consumer. A breakdown of the taxes and PSCs component shows that taxes (i.e. VAT & excise taxes) still account on average for the largest part of “non-contestable” charges of the bill.
