Distribution Use of System (DUoS) and Transmission Network Use of System (TNUoS) are fixed charges, which are increasing from April 2024. These charges apply regardless of energy used and thereby impact unfairly on generators with relatively low import.
Optimised are here to help with guidance on what you need to know and how to mitigate impacts. On average, costs are increasing by £4,050 (for 100kVA supply) and £11,729 (for 500kVA supply).
In the table below, our experts present the current and new rates, and the costs incurred based on supplies with an available capacity of 100kVA and 500kVA.
kVA (Kilo-volt-amperes) is a measure of apparent power. This accounts for inefficient output where the kVA is below 100% and therefore less than kW (Kilo-watt) output.
If you are on a fixed contract, this should not impact your costs until you renew, but if you are on a pass-through contract, you will see them on your April bill.
Fixed charges can be reduced if your site is non-final demand. Classification of a non-final demand site is listed below and if you believe you qualify, please get in touch to see how we can assist.
