Hungary’s Energy Office (MEH) announced Thursday that two Hungarian regional power distributing units of Germany’s E.ON must decrease their distribution fee by 1% between July and December 31 for failing to fulfill the minimum quality requirements of services.
The two units are E.ON Tiszántúli Áramhálózati, operating East of the Tisza river, and E.ON Észak-dunántúli Áramhálózati, servicing the North Transdanubian region.
MEH has been evaluating the level of services provided by power distributors annually since 2003. The office is authorized to levy a fine on distributors failing to meet minimum quality requirements, such as the average number and length of outages, based on average performance in the last three years.
The office’s figures show 1.45 outages per year and costumer, of an average duration of 102 minutes, last year.
