Surcharge calculation and description

Formula

El.Surcharge = Invoiced kilos * Electricity consumption per kilo casting * (Actual price - Base price)

• Invoiced kilos - the weight of the actual order fulfilled. Information will be shown on the invoice. 

Since most of the electricity consumed in production is in the smelting of cast iron, the weight of the casting most accurately reflects the effect of rising electricity prices ;  [kg]

• Electricity consumption - the amount of energy consumed to produce kg of iron

• Actual electricity price - Nordpool power exchange average month price in the "LV" area on working days between 7 am and 11 pm (Scandicast business hours) ; [EUR/kWh]

• Base price - 110EUR / MWh (0.11 EUR/kWh) - the price of electricity previously budgeted for 2022

The value of electricity surcharge can only be determined when monthly Nordpool price data is available and will be calculated at the time of sale. As the average production cycle takes four weeks to sell, the calculation will use the previous month's Nordpool average prices during Scandicast's business hours.

• Scandicast business hours  

The company operates in accordance with the category "B" polluting activity permit issued by the State Environmental Service. The permit states working hours when the company can organize production, which are working days from 7 am to 11 pm Riga time zone(UTC+02:00). Scandicast does not have the possibility to provide production at night when electricity prices are relatively lower.
