Pursuant to the provision of the Article 30, related to the Article 83 of the Law on electricity ("Official Gazette of Republic of Srpska" number 66/02, 29/03, 86/03 and 111/04), Article 11, line 12 of the Statute of the Regulatory Commission for electricity of Republic of Srpska ("Official Gazette of Republic of Srpska", number 41/04), Article 37, paragraph 1, point 3 of the Procedural Rules of the Regulatory Commission for electricity of Republic of Srpska ("Official Gazette of Republic of Srpska", number 96/04) and related to the Article 35 and 68, paragraph 2 of the Rule book on tariff methodology and tariff proceeding ("Official Gazette of Republic of Srpska" number 61/05), the Regulatory Commission for electricity of Republic of Srpska, in its regular 28th session held on 22 March 2006, made
DECISION
on the tariff system for selling of electric energy in Republic of Srpska
I
The tariff system determines the categories of consumption and groups of buyers, tariff elements for determination of the quantity of electricity delivered and value of the service, as well as the method of application of tariff rates for calculation of the price of the electricity delivered.
II
(1) The bases of the tariff system are:
a) tariff elements based on which the value of electric energy delivered is calculated and services of the electric power activities to buyers by the electric power company;
b) categories of consumption, which is determined depending on voltage at the delivery point of electricity, characteristic capacity of the energy user, purpose of the consumption, method of measuring and other criteria determined by this tariff system and tariff group of buyers which are made within the categories of consumption depending on the particularities of the method of measuring, the amount of peak capacity, special purpose and other characteristics of the consumption of electricity;
c) daily and seasonal periods of application of different prices of the tariff elements for each category of consumption and group of buyers.
(2) Tariff rates which represent the unit prices for tariff elements depending on daily and seasonal periods of delivery of electricity for different categories of consumptions and tariff groups of buyers are determined by a special Decision, pursuant to the tariff system.
TARIFF ELEMENTS
III
(1) Tariff elements are:
a) capacity charge
b) active electricity
c) excessively taken reactive electric energy
d) fixed compensation per the measuring point of the buyer
IV
Capacity charge is the maximum reached capacity during the calculation period, and it is determined by measuring or in a way determined in Point VI of this Tariff system and it is expressed in the kilowatt (kW).
V
(1) Capacity charge for the categories "consumption at 100 kV voltage", consumption at 35 kV voltage", "consumption at the voltage level from 1 kV to 35 kV" and "I tariff group" from the category of "other consumption at low voltage" is determined measuring the peak load which is, the maximum average taken capacity in the period of 15 minutes during the monthly calculation period in the time of application of high daily tariff rate.
(2) If the measuring device does not register the time when the peak load is achieved, it is considered that it was measured the peak load which was achieved in the period of application of high daily tariff rates.
VI
(1) For buyers from the category of "other consumption at low voltage" and category of "households" which capacity is not measured, the capacity charge is determined monthly in the following amounts:
* "other consumption at low voltage" - the second tariff group: 5 kW per buyer
* "other consumption at low voltage" - the third tariff group: 5 kW per buyer
* "other consumption at low voltage" - the sixth tariff group: 7 kW per buyer
* "other consumption at low voltage"- the seventh tariff group: 7 kW per buyer
* "households" - the first tariff group: 3,3 kW per buyer
* "households" - the second tariff group: 5,2 kW per buyer
VII
(1) In case when the end user registers himself or cancels himself during the month, the capacity charge is determined in the following way:
a) for the end users whose capacity charge is determined measuring the peak load, in a way that the measured peak load is multiplied by the relation of number of days in that month after registration, i.e. before cancellation and calendar number of days in that month:
b) for end users whose capacity is not measured:
· if the end user registers himself until the 15th day in a month or cancels himself after the 15th day in a month, it is applied the monthly tariff rate for the capacity charge and the amount of the capacity charge of the tariff group that the buyer belongs to;
· if the buyer registers himself after the 15th day in a month, or cancels himself before or on the 15th day in a month, that capacity charge is not calculated for that month.
VIII
Active electric energy is determined by measuring, using the electric meter device for the active electric energy and it is expressed in kilo Watt hours (kWh).
IX
(1) Reactive electricity is determined by measuring or by occasional measuring using the electric meter device for reactive electric energy, and it is expressed in kilovarhours (kVArh).
(2) Reactive electricity is metered to end users from the category of "consumption at 110 kV voltage", "consumption at 35 kV voltage", "consumption at the voltage level from 1 kV to 35 kV" and "the first tariff group" from the category of "other consumption at low voltage" and those end users from the category of "other consumption at low voltage" that have meters inserted for measuring of the reactive electricity and/or those end users for who the distribution licensee (hereinafter Distributor) finds by occasional metering that they take excessive reactive energy.
(3) At the request of Distributor, the end user is obliged to insert the meter for reactive electricity or enable occasional metering pursuant to the General conditions for delivery and supply of electricity and Distribution Grid Code.
(4) Reactive electricity determined by the occasional metering, which is carried out at the discretion of Distributor or at the request of the Buyer whereby the period of reading cannot be shorter than 24 hours, serves for calculation of the excessively taken reactive electricity which is applied in calculations until the next metering.
X
(1) Buyers are calculated and charged for the excessively taken reactive electricity in the period of application of high daily tariff rates.
(2) Excessively taken reactive electric energy is a positive difference between actually taken reactive electricity (kVArh) and reactive electricity which corresponds to the capacity factor cos=0.95 inductively, i.e. it is a positive difference between totally taken reactive energy and 33% of the active electricity taken in the same period.
XI
In case when the metering point and taking point of electricity are at the different voltage sides of the power transformer, the quantities for tariff elements which are determined by metering are corrected for the technical losses in the transformer.
XII
The fixed compensation per the measuring point of the buyers is determined on the basis of costs related to one buyer or one measuring point, if the buyer has more than one connections, which do not depend on the quantity of the electricity delivered and it is calculated in the fixed monthly amount.
CATEOGORIES OF CONSUMPTION
XIII
Buyers are divided in the following categories of consumption:
a) "consumption at 110 kV voltage", for buyers that take electricity at 110 kV,
b) "consumption at 35 kV voltage" for buyers that take electricity at the voltage levels of 35 kV and more, including the voltage level of 35 kV,
c) "consumption at the voltage level of 1 kV to 35 kV" for buyers that take electricity at the voltage levels from 1 kV to 35, including the voltage level of 1 kV,
d) "other consumption at the low voltage" for buyers that take electricity at the voltage level which is lower than 1 kV apart from buyers from the categories of consumption of "households" and "public lightning:,
e) consumption of "households" includes the consumption of electricity in the flats, houses for living and holiday, consumption for lightning of the accompanying ancillary rooms for households, garage, access to the living structures, staircase lightning, elevators and common TV - devices,
