ChrisintheNoir Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hello all, I'm hoping you can help. I upgraded my EDF supply to 15kW last month and have received my first bill, with a charge in the autre prestations section described as "Contribution au Service Public D'electricité" of €40.04 + TVA. I realise that the standing charge would have increased but believe that this is covered under the increased monthly abonnement over the course of a year. Having looked on the EDF website I have discovered the following explanation of the charge: "Elle est destinée a compenser les charges des fournisseurs d'életricité liées a leurs missions de service public. Elle est soumise uniquement a la TVA" I would be grateful if someone would help me make some sense of this by advising exactly what is actually being charged here and whether this is going to be a one-off, annual, monthly or random occurrence. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjlaws Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Contribution au service public d'électricité is a tax on private electricity consumption. We pay €0.0045/kWh.It's charged on total consumption for the invoice period.Are you sure that you've been charged €40.04? That would seem to indicate a consumption of over 9000 kWh. for the period.

ChrisintheNoir Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 The €40.05 is a flat fee notated with "Intervent 2 appareils part". The second line in that section of my bill is then charging my consumption at 0.0045. As I actually had a negative consumption due to a previous over-billing I have been charged under Autres Prestations €38.91 + TVA as follows: Contribution au service public d'electricité: Consumption -254 Prix 0.0045 = - €1.14Intervent 2 appareils part: = €40.05 Autres Prestations Total = (€40.05 - €1.14) €38.91 + TVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjlaws Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 That's for the work they did. Nothing to do with Contribution au service public d'électricité. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisintheNoir Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thanks, that's good to know. I don't suppose you or anyone else knows if this is a one-off charge for the visit they made to increase my supply or if I should expect to see this again at any point in the future?
