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).
