Transport fee EP NL energy
As a business energy customer of EP NL energy, you pay a monthly transport fee for transporting gas over the national network. This fee is essential for the maintenance and development of the gas network, ensuring you a reliable gas supply.
Your gas transport tariff
0,01402 €/Nm³
(Surcharge on top of the delivery rate in €/Nm³, excluding 21% VAT)
This tariff is expressed in euros per standard cubic metre and applies to your gas consumption.
What do you pay and why?
The transport fee covers the costs of transporting gas via the national network of Gasunie Transport Services B.V. (GTS). EP NL charges this fee directly to you and states it separately on your invoice. We transfer the collected amount to GTS, which is responsible for the management and maintenance of the gas network. This fee is expressed in euros per standard cubic metre and applies to your gas consumption.
Previously, the transport fee depended on the region (postcode) in which your company is located. The greater the distance from Groningen, the higher the regional surcharge. As a result, companies in Zeeland, for example, paid a higher rate.
Since 1 January 2020, this has changed. GTS has replaced the regional surcharges with a single uniform postage stamp tariff. This means that all companies in the Netherlands now pay the same tariff for gas transport, regardless of their location.
Background of the amendment
This adjustment is the result of European legislation and the Authority Consumer and Market (ACM)’s decision on 11 December 2018. The aim is to make the gas market more transparent and fair, and to promote competition by applying equal transport costs for all regions.
GTS manages the national gas transmission network and ensures safe and efficient gas transport. Your transport fee supports the maintenance and development of this network.The transport fee is based on GTS’s tariffs and is subject to change. EP NL may charge you for these adjustments, with or without retroactive effect. We will keep you informed of important changes.
