If you are a free user, who has not chosen IES, you are paying for the electricity to the distribution network operator (AB Lesto). Your electricity price that you pay to AB Lesto, is equal to the actual cost of purchase of electricity.
This price is not regulated by the National Control Commission for Prices and Energy (NCC) and it changes every month. When you choose to purchase electricity from our company, the price remains constant for the entire contract period.
Since electricity, as well as other resources, is becoming increasingly expensive, having a fixed price for a longer period is useful for both larger and smaller users.
