Plussa point accrual
Plussa points accrue from the price of electric energy including VAT, which forms about a half of the sum total of the electricity bill. The rest of the electricity bill consists of the electricity distribution price and electricity tax, from which no Plussa points accrue. Below you will find two examples of how the purchases that entitle you to Plussa points accrue. The example calculations are based on the average annual costs of typical electricity users reported by the Energy Market Authority. The annual electricity consumption of a typical electrically heated single-family house is approx. 18,000 kWh. In such a case, the annual electricity bill consists of the following:
Electric energy € 997 incl. VAT at 22%
Electricity distribution € 702 incl. VAT at 22%
---------------------------------------------------------
Sum total of the electricity bill € 1,699 incl. VAT at 22%
The purchases of electric energy that entitle you to Plussa points amount to € 997 a year. The Plussa benefit from electricity is € 5 - € 51 a year, depending on the total amount of all Plussa purchases. In connection with a bill based on measured consumption, the Plussa points are equalised according to the proportion of electric energy, and in case a credit note has been issued, points may be deducted. Below you will find an example of a credit note based on realised consumption. The realised consumption of electricity has been 26,774 kWh and the estimated proportion 9,150 kWh.
Proportion of realised electric energy consumption € 1,421.70
The sum total of the estimated bills is deducted - € 2,132.55
The proportion of estimated electric energy consumption € 485.87
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= The purchases that entitle the customer to Plussa points - € 224.98
If the amount of purchases entitling the customer to Plussa points in the above example had been less than € 224.98 before the balancing bill, the previously earned points would not have been deducted, but they would have remained valid. You will find more information on the accrual of Plussa points in the Plussa point table.
