Consumption billing
Would you like to know more about the content of the electricity invoice? Here you can find out all necessary explanations.
The improvement of the electricity consumption billing process is part of our priorities.
In order to clearly go through the content of the electricity invoice issued by E.ON Energie România, here, we offer a thorough description and explain the content of an estimate invoice for household customers.

1
Invoice date—it is the date when the invoice was issued.
Due date—it is date up to which the invoice has to be paid. The electricity invoice has to be paid within 15 days after the invoice issuance date.
Variable symbol —Specific number for each invoice, made up of 10 figures. It is necessary to mention when the invoice payment is made.
What happens if the electricity invoice is not paid for during the due period?
- If the invoice is paid for within 30 days after the due date, no late payment interest shall be charged. Beginning with the 31st day after the due date, late payment interest shall be calculated for the whole period, beginning with the first day after the due date.
- 45 days after the due date, the electricity supply shall be interrupted. The restoration of the electricity supply shall be carried out within maximum two working days immediately after the full payment of the invoice, the due late payment interests and the expenses determined by the interruption and restoration of supply.
- In case within 60 days after the interruption of the electricity supply the full payment of the invoice and due late payment interests has not been made, the supplier is entitled to terminate the electricity supply contract and all the due amounts shall be recovered according to the legal provisions in force.

Type of customer—Household
Type of invoice
- estimated–it is issued every 2 months, based on the average electricity consumption, automatically calculated via the billing application or based on the average monthly consumption declared by the customer under the consumption agreement;
- regularisation–it is issued based on the indexes read by the meter reading service providers every 6 months. The value of the regularisation invoice represents the difference between the actual consumption during 6 months and the previously estimated and billed one.
Billing period
It is the period that the electricity consumption is calculated for (2 months for the estimated invoice and 6 months for the regularisation invoice).

Billed products and services
According to the chosen type of tariff, the billed amount is made up of the following:
- Active electricity–the equivalent value of the electricity consumption recorded during the billing period,
- Reservation (subscription)–it applies only if there is a monomial tariff with reservation (CR, CR2,CR3), monomial with included consumption, monomial with contracted power quota and it is charged irrespective whether electricity is consumed or not.
Via the reservation (subscription) the electricity supply service is ensured at any time, meaning that there are covered all non-current expenses for the operation of the generation, transmission and distribution installations.
Radio fee

The amounts of the excise are calculated in lei, based on the currency exchange rate set forth according to article 218 under Law no 571/2003 regarding the Fiscal code, as subsequently amended and completed.
The excise calculation formula is the following: the volume of billed active electricity (expressed in MWh) x unitary excise (that can be seen on the invoice under item 8) x lei/ euro exchange rate.
The lei/ euro exchange rate that is taken into consideration is set forth in the first working day of October of the previous year and it is published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
