Like the price for household customers, the electricity price for non-household customers is made up of various components. These components can be divided into those that are controlled by a supplier and those that are not. The price components that are controlled by the supplier include energy procurement costs, distribution costs and the supplier’s margin. There are also costs that are not controlled by the supplier. These costs include the network tariffs that are payable for the use of the networks, costs for metering and meter operation, concession fees, electricity tax and the surcharges laid down in law. All the price components together make up the average electricity price for non-household customers. Non-household customers are final customers that use electricity for professional, agricultural or commercial purposes and have an annual electricity consumption of more than 10 megawatt hours (MWh). The Bundesnetzagentur and the Bundeskartellamt also make a distinction between two types of non-household customers: commercial customers and industrial customers. Commercial customers are final customers with an annual consumption of between 10 MWh and 2 gigawatt hours (GWh). Industrial customers have an annual electricity consumption of more than 2 GWh. The figures come from the electricity suppliers operating in Germany and are based on the annual monitoring surveys carried out by the Bundesnetzagentur and the Bundeskartellamt.
