G-component

The G-component (distribution network access fee) is a charge that electricity suppliers pay in some countries, including Slovakia, for the ability to connect their facilities to the distribution system. This fee covers the costs associated with maintaining the infrastructure required to transmit the generated electricity to the grid, even when the supplier is not currently supplying electricity. However, the fee amount can vary depending on the capacity being utilized at the time.

The G-component ensures the balanced funding of distribution network operations and contributes to the sustainability of energy infrastructure.
The fee amount is determined by a regulatory authority and may differ depending on the legislation and conditions in individual countries. In Slovakia, this fee is regulated by the Regulatory Office for Network Industries (ÚRSO).

Greenhouse gases

Greenhouse gases are gases that absorb heat in the atmosphere and contribute to the "greenhouse effect." These gases occur naturally, but their levels have significantly increased due to human activities. The main sources of increased greenhouse gases are the production and combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Among the most well-known greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases. The rise in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere contributes to global warming and climate change.
