Elering provides natural gas transmission service, transporting natural gas through the transmission pipelines from the border of Estonia to the agreed connection points. 

 

Effective 1 October 2020, the network fees approved by Competition Authority decision no. 7-3/2020-024 of 16 June 2020 will be in force.

 

The purpose of the change in the network fees is to change the baseline prices for standard capacity products of a specific capacity for a period other than a year, pursuant to the change in the number of days in a year (the gas years 2020/2021, 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 are 365 days long while the length of 2020 used as a basis for calculating network service prices is 366 days long). There are no changes to other data used as a basis for determining the price of network service.

The user of natural gas can apply for excise waiver permission, in the case the user is:

  • Natural gas network operator, who uses natural gas in order to keep the natural gas network in operation;
  • User, who has been included in the business register and uses natural gas in activities, such as
    • Mineralogical processes
    • For production of electricity
    • For other purposes than fuel
