Annex No 1 to Decree No 436 / 2013 Coll.
Procedure for setting electricity transmission prices
The unit price for the annual reserved capacity of the transmission system cperci in CZK / MW is determined by the regulatory formula
cperci = UPVpei vijk = nRRKPS-VVVVki
where
i is the serial number of the regulated year;
UPVpei [CZK] is the value of the adjusted allowed revenues of the transmission system operator for the electricity transmission activity for the regulated year, determined by the relationship
UPVpei = PVpei + IRFpei + IFpei-VpeAi-Vpeosti-VpeVYRi × CPIi-2100 × CPIi-1100
