Who delivers electricity to your home?

The larger network operators on the map

This is an overview map, not an address check. The areas are drawn along municipal borders and Loo Elekter’s areas are marked with dots. The map does not include the other 29 network operators, including VKG Oil AS, whose share of distributed electricity was 3% in 2025. Their service areas are small and local. A grey area therefore does not confirm that a specific address belongs to Elektrilevi’s network. Your bill or network contract gives the exact answer.

The seller and the network are two different things

An electricity bill has two big parts. You pay for the electricity to the seller, whom you can choose and change yourself. You can change the seller at any time: the new seller announces the switch at least 14 days in advance and the switch can take effect on any calendar day. The network fee, however, you pay to the network operator whose network your building is connected to.

You cannot choose the network operator, because their areas do not overlap. There is only one network in each place. That is why network fees are approved by Konkurentsiamet (the Estonian Competition Authority): an operator cannot freely raise its price, but has to agree it with the authority. A new network fee can only take effect after it has been published on the network operator’s website for at least 90 days, so every price change is known in advance.

The largest network operators in 2025

According to Konkurentsiamet’s 2025 electricity and gas market report, Estonia had 33 licensed distribution network operators at the end of 2025. The market share shows how much of the distributed electricity flowed through their network.

Elektrilevi acquired Imatra Elekter in 2021, but they are still separate companies with their own price lists. Elektrilevi is also the only network operator with more than 100,000 consumers connected to its network.

Viru Elektrivõrgud used to be called VKG Elektrivõrgud. If you see the old name in your contract or on your bill, it is the same company.

How big is the price difference?

Using each network operator’s current price list, we calculated how much two typical homes pay for the network. We compare only the network fee. The price of electricity, which depends on your seller and contract, and the nationwide fees are not included in the amounts. These are the renewable energy fee, the electricity excise duty and the security of supply fee on the network bill, and the balancing capacity cost added to the seller’s bill from 2026.

Calculated on 25.09.2026. The Elektrilevi and Viru Elektrivõrgud price lists apply from 01.06.2026, the Imatra and Loo Elekter ones from 01.02.2025. The amounts include VAT. These are sample homes, not the bill for your address; the calculation is in the chapter “Package choice” under “How we calculated”.

For an apartment on the basic rate, the difference depends mainly on the price per kilowatt-hour. Elektrilevi’s Võrk 1 costs €0.0957/kWh plus a monthly fee, Imatra’s Partner 24 is €0.0753/kWh without a monthly fee. The higher the consumption, the bigger this difference grows in euros.

For a private house the differences are smaller and the order is different. With the right package Elektrilevi is in the middle, Viru is the most expensive. The order also depends on the amount of consumption. With the same 3×25 A fuse and 40% night share, Elektrilevi’s Võrk 4 becomes the cheapest of all four from 15,200 kWh a year, because its high monthly fee is then spread over enough kilowatt-hours. With a different main fuse or night share, the order and the break-even point are different.

For this house, the package choice affects the price more than the network operator

You cannot choose the network operator, but you can choose between your network operator’s packages. The example below is the same house, for which Elektrilevi offers several packages. Võrk 1, Võrk 2 and Võrk 4 can all be chosen for a connection point with a main fuse of up to 63 A. The differences between the packages are explained in the guide “Network packages, simply explained”.

The right package depends on how much and when you use electricity and how big your main fuse is. A home with low consumption is usually best off with a package without a large monthly fee, a house with high consumption with a package where the monthly fee is higher and the kilowatt-hour price lower. This is not a recommendation for a specific address.

How do you find out who your network operator is?

1. Look at your bill or network contract. The network operator’s name is written in the network contract and on the network fee line. You can also see the contracts of your connection point in Elering’s customer portal estfeed.elering.ee.
2. If you live in a coloured area on the map, check the operator’s own website. Loo Elekter has a map application where you can check by connection point whether it is in its network.
3. If your bill says Elektrilevi, Elektrilevi’s packages apply to you. This covers the vast majority of Estonian homes.

Why it matters for your bill

The network fee is one of the largest lines on the electricity bill. According to Konkurentsiamet, the weighted average network fee in Estonian distribution networks at the end of 2025 was €0.057 per kilowatt-hour including VAT, 3.2% more than a year earlier. Every network operator has its own price list and its own packages, so a home with the same consumption may pay differently for the network in Narva, Haapsalu and Tartu.

The tariif.ee price calculation calculates the network fee using the price list of the network operator you have chosen: Elektrilevi, Imatra, Viru or Loo. Choose your network and package in “My settings”. If your network operator is another, smaller network, your actual network fee is different.
