Distribution Use of System (DUoS) Agreement

On this page

What is this licence?

A DUoS charge is a fee that ESB Networks charges your electricity supplier to use the electricity distribution system. In most cases, your electricity supplier will pass this on to you in your electricity bill.

The amount of DUoS that ESB Networks charges a supplier for each customer depends on which DUoS Group a customer is classified as. This can be based on several factors including:

  • The voltage a premises is connected at
  • The type of meter installed
  • If electricity is exported

How to apply
