Electrica Furnizare invoices are built from your active-energy usage plus regulated network, transport and system tariffs, with VAT (TVA) on top. Here's what each line means.
- Energie activă (active energy)
-
The cost of the electricity you actually used in the period, charged in kWh at a per-unit tariff (lei/kWh). UtilityBillReader records the total usage, the unit (kWh), the rate, and whether the read was a distributor read (citire distribuitor) or an estimate.
Example: 300 kWh × 0,663130 lei/kWh = 198,94 lei
- Tarif de distribuţie (distribution tariff)
-
A regulated network charge for delivering electricity over the local distribution grid, set by ANRE and billed per MWh by voltage level (JT for low voltage, MT for medium). It is part of the total even when shown as a separate component.
Example: Regulated lei/MWh component
- Tarif de transport + servicii de sistem
-
Regulated charges for moving electricity across the high-voltage transmission grid (introducere / extragere) and for system-balancing services, again set by ANRE per MWh. These are network costs, not the energy itself.
Example: Transport 33,03 lei/MWh + system 7,04 lei/MWh (illustrative)
- Acciză (excise duty)
-
A per-MWh excise on electricity under the Romanian fiscal code, charged at different rates for commercial and non-commercial consumption. It is included in the value billed before VAT.
Example: 3,62 lei/MWh commercial (illustrative)
- Certificate verzi / contribuţie cogenerare
-
Regulated green-certificate and cogeneration contributions passed through on the bill to fund renewable and high-efficiency generation. They appear as small regulated components and are captured where the bill itemises them.
Example: Regulated CV / cogeneration component
- TVA (VAT)
-
Romanian VAT, normally 19%, applied to the value billed before tax. On some invoices VAT is reverse-charged (taxare inversă) and shows as 0,00 — the liability shifts to the buyer. UtilityBillReader captures the VAT component and the total as billed.
Example: 103,74 lei × 19% = 19,71 lei
- Citiri contor (meter reads)
-
The reading table (detalii citiri) lists the meter point code, the old and new index (index vechi → index nou), the quantity in kWh, and whether the read came from the distributor or was estimated. UtilityBillReader records the read type so you can tell an estimated bill from an actual one.
Example: 395 → 695 = 300 kWh (citire distribuitor)
- Energie compensată (prosumer net metering)
-
For prosumers (prosumatori) with solar or other generation, Electrica issues a compensated-energy invoice that nets the energy you fed into the grid against what you drew. These are often self-billed in the prosumer's name with reverse-charge VAT; UtilityBillReader extracts the produced kWh and the settled amount.
Example: 58 kWh produced and fed to the grid (illustrative)
