FAQ

  • Our company’s billing address changes. How do I report this?

    You can communicate your changed billing address via the contact form on our website.

  • I would like to pay by direct debit. How do I arrange this?

    You can sign up for direct debit via the contact form on our website.

  • When will I receive my annual statement?

    You will receive your annual statement at the beginning of the first quarter after the supply year, if you receive monthly advance bills.

  • How are EB and ODE calculated if I feed back to the energy grid?

    This depends on the type of connection. With a small consumer connection, netting takes place. This means that the feed-in is deducted from the supply. You only pay EB and ODE on the remaining supply (consumption). If the feed-in is higher, you do not pay any EB and ODE. This balancing scheme does not apply to high-volume connections.

  • What is the capacity tariff?

    The capacity tariff is a fixed transmission charge for small consumer connections. The larger the connection, the higher the tariff.

  • Why transport costs are mapped

    Transport charges are levied for maintaining the networks and transporting your energy.

    Transmission tariffs are set by the Authority Consumer & Market (ACM), the energy industry regulator. These tariffs consist of a fixed and a variable part. You can consult the current transmission tariffs on the website of the Authority Consumer & Market.

  • When will I receive my monthly bill?

    We invoice as soon as we receive the consumption data from your network operator. If we have not received any consumption data after 21 working days, we will estimate your consumption for the past month. In that case, you will receive an invoice based on this estimate.
    On the eleventh working day of each month, EP NL receives your electricity consumption data from your grid operator. For gas, this is usually done on the sixth working day of the month.

  • Are all connections billed separately?

    If you have multiple connections within the same supply contract, there are different billing options:

    • You will receive one invoice per connection.
    • You receive one invoice for all connections.
    • You can cluster your connections and receive one invoice for all connections within a cluster

    It is important that you indicate which billing method you prefer. You can easily communicate this via the Contact form.

  • When is there an accommodation function?

    A residential function exists when the connection is located in a building where people can live and/or work.
    For a complete overview, please visit our residential function page.
