Regulated energy consumer

A regulated electricity consumer is an individual or legal entity that consumes electricity based on a bundled electricity supply contract with an electricity supplier. These consumers have a legal entitlement to an electricity or gas supply price regulated by the Regulatory Office for network industries (ÚRSO). Regulated consumers include households and small businesses with an annual consumption of up to 30 MWh of electricity or 100 MWh of gas. This group also includes homeowners' associations with their own boiler rooms, social service facilities, and rental and social housing.

Regulated consumers benefit from stable and predictable electricity prices, providing them protection from fluctuations in the energy market. These regulated prices are set to ensure access to electricity at fair and affordable rates for more vulnerable population groups and small businesses.
