The payment for electricity consists of two parts:

• Services of distribution system — provision with an electrical power connection, continuous electrical power supply and the maintenance of electrical meters, which is performed by Sadales tīkls AS.
• Electricity price — includes the generation and supply costs. This is a part that changes, depending on the chosen electricity supplier.
• The state determined value added tax also applies to the payment. 

The payment part that is affected by tariff changes is the services of the distribution system.
