Price Structure in the NextEnergy App – English

In the NextEnergy app, under the Prices tab, you can choose from different price levels. By default, the app is set to the Total Price.

Market Price

This is the price on the energy market. For electricity, the EPEX price is used, and for gas, the TTF price. These prices constantly change based on supply and demand. NextEnergy purchases electricity and gas at these prices.

Delivry Price

The delivery price consists of two components:

The market price (EPEX) for electricity or the TTF price for gas.
The purchasing fee (inkoopvergoedig): a small fee covering the costs NextEnergy incurs to purchase and supply energy.

Together, these components determine the supply price per kWh of electricity or per m³ of gas. The amount of the procurement fee can be found in your contract confirmation.

Total Price

The total price consists of:

Market price (EPEX) or TTF price + Purchasing fee+ Energy tax

This is the price you ultimately pay per kWh of electricity or per m³ of gas for your energy consumption. Additionally, your energy bill may include grid management fees and other government levies. These are outside the supply price.

Do you have solar panels or a battery?

Then you sometimes feed electricity back into the grid.

For electricity fed back, you usually receive a compensation. This compensation is based on the market price at that moment, reduced by a sales fee (verkoopvergoeding).

The sales fee is a small fee for the costs we incur to trade your fed-back electricity. The amount can be found in your contract confirmation.

Note on negative electricity prices

When the market price is very low or even negative, feeding back electricity can cost money.

Therefore, keep a close eye on the prices in the app. At times of negative prices, it can be advantageous to use as much electricity as possible immediately or store it in a home battery.

What is energy tax?

You pay energy tax on the energy you consume. The rates are set annually by the government.

Energy tax on electricity

Do you have solar panels? Then you can use the net metering scheme until 2026. This means the electricity you feed back is offset against the electricity you consume. You only pay energy tax on the difference.

From 2027, the net metering scheme will end. From that moment on, you will pay energy tax on all electricity you draw from the grid.

Energy tax on gas

You also pay energy tax on gas. The rate is set annually by the government and depends on your consumption.
