On 17 October 2024, the Luxembourg Institute of Regulation (ILR) presented the new pricing structure for the use of electricity networks, which will come into force on 1 January 2025.
The aim of this new structure is to respond to changes in network use in the context of the energy transition, and to propose a fairer pricing structure that will ultimately encourage consumers to adopt greater flexibility in the use of networks and to make better use of existing and future networks.
From 1 January 2025, the new pricing for the use of the electricity network aims to make the tariff fairer and more reflective of real costs, and to motivate consumers to limit their simultaneous uses, which lead to power peaks that the network must absorb.
In concrete terms, reference power levels are allocated to all consumers based on their consumption history. Regularly exceeding the allocated power level is completely normal. The additional volume is then simply billed at a higher price. However, users can contribute to more efficient use of the network by being flexible in their consumption, extending it over time and limiting simultaneous usage.
For details on the new tariff structure, the ILR has designed a page specifically dedicated to this topic.
