Frequently Asked Questions

Every product has its own advantages, and your choice will depend on your consumption habits, i.e. on whether you prefer stability or being able to monitor your household consumption actively to look for new ways to economise.

Dynamicmeans that you will be purchasing electricity at exactly the same price as it is sold at the exchange, with no extra charge for each kWh consumed. Influenced by the market and consumption tendencies, this price changes every hour. Thus, you may adapt your electricity consumption actively to consume more when the exchange price is the lowest and to economise when it climbs up. The Dynamic product is usually more economical than the Fixed one in the long term, but you need to take into account that there will be “more expensive” and “cheaper” months.

If, however, you prefer not to take the risk of experiencing large exchange price fluctuations, you may opt for the service Dynamic+. At an additional charge of 1 EUR per month, this service makes it possible to guarantee that your final price for electricity does not exceed a certain amount regardless of how much the exchange price might rise.

Conversely, if you are looking for a simple and stable solution that does not require monitoring of price fluctuations, choose the Fixed product. You will have a fixed price of electricity for a period of 24 months.

In any case, you may simply change the selected product at no additional fee.

• Enefit’s costs do not depend on how much electricity each client consumes. Therefore, we offer all our clients an equal service price which does not depend on their place of residence, age or the amount of electricity consumed.

• The fixed customer service fee of 2 EUR per month assures transparent and honest cooperation with the clients as well as supporting Enefit’s aim of promoting more efficient energy consumption. Enefit is not interested in any rises in the customer’s consumption because, unlike what is considered common practice in the sector, it has no effect on the company’s profit.

  On the contrary, we want our customer’s electricity consumption to go down and therefore offer various tips and solutions for becoming more energy-efficient and reducing electricity expenditure. View our power-efficiency tips.

This offer is perfect if you are looking to enjoy the benefits of the Dynamic tariff plan, but do not want to run the risk of having unexpected changes in the exchange prices. At a fixed fee of 1 EUR per month, you have a set fixed electricity price level or a “price threshold” for one kWh that is stipulated in the contract, and this is guaranteed by us, regardless of any exchange price fluctuations: your final price for electricity will not exceed this amount. Should the exchange prices climb above the price level fixed for the Dynamic+ offer, we cover the difference.

If you have a smart electricity meter, you do not need to submit the readings because they are automatically read remotely.

The clients may submit readings from an ordinary meter between the 27th day of the month and the 3rd day of the following month. For example, the meter readings for March may be submitted from 27th March until 3rd April.

If you have an ordinary meter, the readings can be submitted:

• On the self-service portal My Enefit – the link
• Via the Enefit Latvija app – the link to app page or download environment

If the meter reading is not submitted on time and you do not have a smart meter which can be read remotely, the amount for your electricity bill for that particular month will be calculated based on your average consumption.

A smart electricity meter is a device for measuring the electricity consumption which makes it possible to read data and service the device remotely. Furthermore, these meters offer wider opportunities for monitoring the hourly energy consumption of your household and analysing it in order to see how various devices and our habits affect our energy consumption.

Smart meters are installed and serviced by JSC Sadales tīkls, which is responsible for the servicing of the electric energy distribution networks in Latvia. The plan for the implementation of these meters envisages installation of smart electricity meters for all properties in Latvia by year 2022.

In an open electricity market, the sale of electric energy is based on the principle of hourly consumption. If the client does not have a smart meter installed, i.e. the client’s meter does not record the hourly consumption, the breakdown of the electric energy consumed within a 24-hour period is applied for payment purposes, based on the standard load pattern. More about the standard load pattern.

The total amount in the electricity bill consists of several components, of which only one third is the price of electric energy:

• The price of electricity at which electric energy is purchased from the supplier and which depends on the chosen tariff type. Approximately 32% of the total invoice amount.
• The fee for the supply of electric energy to the consumer or the tariff of the distribution network fixed by JSC Sadales tīkls. Approximately 40% of the total invoice amount.
• The mandatory procurement component (MPC) which makes up approximately 28% of the total invoice amount.

Your monthly electricity bill amount will depend on the product you have opted for and the total electricity consumption. Please use our calculator to find out what your electricity bill will be with each of the Enefit products.

You will receive the bill for the electric energy consumed during the previous month in your e-mail by the 15th day of the subsequent month.

Yes, if you have signed a contract for the supply of electric energy to several properties registered with JSC Sadales tīkls in your name, then Enefit will include all of them in a single bill.

Enefit purchases electricity from the owners of solar panels at the exchange prices without using net settlement system, when the energy produced, but unused during the daytime is one to one traded for the energy necessary in the night. Price of electricity reaches its peak level during the daylight hours, while it significantly decreases in the night. Therefore, owners of Enefit solar panels gain the highest price for the remaining energy produced during the day, while the energy necessary for the dark hours of the day is available at the current price. Electricity used for self-consumption is not subject to the costs of Sadales tīkls (mandatory procurement component (MPC), fee for the electricity distribution etc.)
