Pursuant to Order No. 5138-A / 2016, of April 14, the Social Electricity Tariff results from the application of a discount on the tariff for access to low voltage electricity networks, which makes up the final price billed to the customer of electricity.

According to Decree-Law No. 138-A / 2010, of 28 December, and Decree-Law No. 102/2011, of 30 September, both as amended by Decree-Law 172/2014 of 14 November, the necessary requirements to benefit from the Social Electricity Tariff are:

1) Be a beneficiary of one of the social benefits described below:
· Solidarity supplement for the elderly;
· Social Insertion Income;
· Social Unemployment Allowance;
· Family allowance;
· Social Disability Pension;
· Old Age Social Pension.

2) The Client must receive an annual income lower than the Rendimento Anual Máximo (RAM), defined under the terms of Decree-Law no. 138-A / 2010, of 28 December.

3) Have an electric power supply contract, with Contracted Power less than or equal to 6.9kVA.

4) Be the holder of an electricity supply contract, the consumption of which is intended exclusively for domestic use.

Final customers entitled to the social tariff will be sent a communication, informing that they have been granted the right to the social tariff. If the customer does not agree with this assignment, he can object within 30 days. If you say nothing, you are entitled to the social tariff.Alternatively, the beneficiary can also request from the competent social security institutions and the Tax and Customs Authority a proof of his status as a beneficiary and present it to the electricity supplier.

The Directorate-General for Energy and Geology is responsible for setting the number of end customers who benefit from the social tariff, under the terms of the protocol to be defined by the members of the Government responsible for the areas of finance, social security and energy.

For this purpose, the electricity traders forward to the Directorate-General for Energy and Geology the information necessary to identify the holders of electricity supply contracts.

The maintenance of the social tariff depends on the confirmation, by the General Directorate of Energy and Geology, in September of each year, of the condition of economically vulnerable end customer.

The beneficiary who fails to meet the social tariff allocation requirements must communicate it to the competent social security institutions within 30 days.

The application of the discount associated with the social tariff to economically vulnerable customers is the responsibility of the respective traders.
The discount, which is levied on the network access tariff, is calculated by ERSE, under the terms set out in the Tariff Regulation.

Following the publication of Directive No. 4 by ERSE, the Regulatory Authority for Energy Services, concerning the Breakdown of Financing Costs for the Social Tariff for all customers in the national electricity system,

We inform you that this charge will be reflected on your invoice as a separate line item for consumption recorded from the month of April onwards.

With the increasing integration of unpredictable renewable energy sources into the electricity system, it has become increasingly necessary to activate power generation plants to supply the network with the energy needed to meet consumption demands at any given time.

Regulation charges ensure the stability and evolution of the electricity system, promoting the security of electricity supply and compensating power plants that provide this service to the system.

The mFRR is an important reserve to guarantee the reliability and stability of the electricity system, used to correct frequency deviations when necessary. However, it operates with a slower and more controlled response and is manually activated by the Transmission System Operator (TSO), who is also the overall system manager.

These charges vary monthly, are passed on to electricity consumers, and are essential for achieving the country's environmental and energy goals.

At Yes Energy, these charges are itemized on the bill under the line "Regulation Charges, including mFRR" and vary monthly according to the actual costs incurred by the electricity system due to these activations.
