Under current regulations, the assessment of allowable costs for heat suppliers has historically relied on the average annual fuel price when limiting incurred fuel expenses. A modification to this methodology is being implemented, shifting the calculation basis to reflect more immediate market conditions. Starting November 1, the calculation will utilize the average quarterly fuel price specific to the type of fuel consumed.
Aivar Ciesiun, Director of the Department of Data Analysis and Evaluation at VERT, confirmed that this adjustment will directly impact the calculation of allowable income for both established heat suppliers and independent heat producers. According to Ciesiun, the shift to quarterly data ensures that the financial assessment of fuel costs is based on more contemporary information rather than historical annual averages. This procedural update is framed against the backdrop of the approaching autumn season.
Ciesiun stated that the primary objective is to enhance the accuracy of cost recovery mechanisms for residents. By adopting a quarterly average, the system is designed to better reflect the fluctuating nature of the energy market. This change aims to provide a more precise determination of allowable expenses related to the generation and distribution of heat.
The modification ensures that the financial burden assessment for utilizing various fuel sources remains closely aligned with current market pricing structures.
