The electricity tax is set annually in the budget law and varies depending on your annual consumption:

The contribution to the compensation mechanism is collected from every consumer. Its amounts are approved annually via a directive of the national regulatory authority ILR. The aim is to distribute among all consumers the additional purchasing costs of the network operators when they buy back electricity that was produced from renewable sources or from high-performance combined heat and power plants and that thereby benefits from a fixed remuneration.

Category A ≤ 25,000 kWh per year	Category B > 25,000 kWh per year
