Electricity

Each product has its advantages: 

• The Fixed product is good for those who seek stability, predictability, and the ability to plan how much they spend on electricity. With the Fixed electricity product, you will have a fixed electricity price for 24 months.
• The Dynamic product is good for everyone. But for those who are prepared to adjust their electricity consumption – using more during hours when electricity prices are particularly low and using less during hours when electricity prices are high – it also gives you the opportunity to manage your overall costs over the long term. In the Dynamic product, the price of electricity is variable and changes every hour according to changes on the Nord Pool electricity exchange. The electricity exchange prices are influenced by the level of production and consumption (supply and demand) every hour. 
• Whether you choose the Great Package or the Mighty Package, you can choose the electricity product that suits you best – Fixed or Dynamic – and get a discount on Virši fuel and purchases at Virši power stations. All from the same trader. If you are interested in increased fuel discounts every day, but your daily mileage is low, the Starter Package will be most beneficial, but if you drive every day and also regularly visit the service station store – we recommend you choose the Mighty Package.

The monthly payment is part of the electricity price for all electricity products. It makes up the total electricity payment amount together with the kilowatt-hour (kWh) price.

This is how we can adjust the electricity payment according to the amount of consumed kWh: the higher the consumption, the lower the cost per 1 kWh.

If you are a Virši electricity user, you can change your current electricity product by calling Virši customer service on 80 700 070 or sending an e-mail to info@virsi.lv 

You may change the product no more than once a month.

If you change from a Fixed and/or a package with Fixed Electricity to any other product, a cancellation fee will apply according to the terms of the product. 

Currently, only the Nord Pool exchange is active in Latvia. This market platform has a Latvian price area where the market price is set for each hour. You can view the current prices of the Latvian price area of the Nord Pool exchange at the following link. 

Each electricity product has its own advantages.

You can choose products with fixed or dynamic electricity prices. Please note that if you choose a dynamic product, you will not be able to adjust the average electricity price with changes in your consumption habits, because data according to the typical load distribution schedule will be used for electricity billing.

This means that the charge for electricity, if a tariff linked to the Nord Pool exchange price is used, is not affected by the days and hours when the electricity is actually used.
You can read more about the typical load distribution schedule here.

The Universal service price is EUR 0.20000 per kWh including VAT.

You can change electricity trader once a month. However, we urge you to check the early termination price terms in your electricity contract. 

For a new contract to be effective from the 1st date of the following month, you must notify your chosen trader by the 15th date of the current month.
 

You can find the terms and conditions of your electricity contract in the Contracts section of Virši Tev. In this section you can download the contract.

You can read the current general terms and conditions of the contract at any time here. 

The electricity contract is concluded individually for every site. If you have multiple sites, you can conclude contracts for all of them with Virši, but each site will have a separate contract. You can choose the product that suits each of the sites best. 

You do not have to physically sign the electricity contract! Digital or verbal confirmation is sufficient to conclude the contract.

The Dynamic electricity product comes with an open-ended contract that only expires when you want it to.

The Fixed electricity product comes with a 24 month contract. When your contract is about to expire, we will contact you to arrange further cooperation, either by extending your contract or by offering you another product.

Please note that if you terminate your Fixed electricity contract before it expires, a termination fee will apply in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract.
 

A termination fee must be paid if you have a fixed-term contract and wish to terminate it before the end of the contract term.

The contract printout shows the contract term and the initial termination fee. This fee decreases proportionally with every subsequent quarter by an amount calculated by dividing the early termination fee by the number of quarters within the contract period.

If you have a smart meter, you do not have to submit your meter readings. We will automatically receive the data on your consumption. 

If you have a traditional meter, you can submit your meter readings once a month (between the 27th and the 3rd date) via the AS Sadales tīkls self-service portal e-st.lv

If you forget to submit your meter readings, you will be invoiced based on your average consumption.

If no meter readings are provided, the amount consumed is estimated based on the average consumption of the user.

You will receive an electricity invoice for the electricity you consumed in the previous month via e-mail by the 10th date of the current month. 
The Invoices section of Virši Tev has information about your electricity invoices and is a quick and easy way to pay your invoices.

When you apply for Virši electricity, the state-provided electricity discount will not apply.
We are currently working to ensure that the protected user receives the discount in the near future.
 

Your total electricity invoice amount consists of several parts:

• the price at which electricity is purchased from the trader, and it depends on the product chosen;
• the fee for the services of the distribution system operator, which is set by AS Sadales tīkls;
• 21% value-added tax.
   

The electricity invoices are due by the 25th date of the month.

You can pay electricity invoices via the self-service portal Virši Tev or via your online banking system as a transfer to one of Virsi-A accounts:

AS “Swedbank”: LV45HABA0551002267358
AS “SEB banka”: LV28UNLA0026000404101
AS “Citadele Banka”: LV81PARX0007054690001

If you have multiple sites registered with AS Sadales tīkls and you have concluded an electricity trading contract with Virši for those sites, Virši will include all the sites in one invoice.

For now, we only sell electricity of uncertified origin to our customers. The origin of such electricity is reported annually by the transmission system operator AS Augstsprieguma tīkls and can be found here.

Yes, members of the Neto metering system can change their electricity trader.

The net metering system is available only to households that produce electricity from renewable energy sources and is applied automatically starting the day after receiving the permit to connect the microgenerator.

Neto consumption is calculated by subtracting the electricity transferred to the network (kWh) from the consumed electricity (kWh).

New customers will be able to join the Neto accounting system until 30.04.2024.

In the future, it is planned to introduce a Neto billing system, which will not only account for the amount of electricity produced and consumed by the customer, but also determine the value of this energy in monetary terms. The Neto payment system is not yet available.

In the case of a change of electricity trader, the Neto savings remain.

Important! If user changes are made to the object, the Neto accrual is deleted. For the new user, the Neto accrual is created from scratch.
