The changes of system use charges in 2009 are summarized by Tables 12, 13, and 14.

The reason for the increase of the entrance charge was the acknowledged justifi ed costs of the investments carried out by the transmission company. The signifi cant decrease in the transmission volume charge was justifi ed by the change (decrease) of the purchase price of gas. The decrease of the quantitybased (HUF/m 3 ) charges on 1 July was partially allowed by the decrease of the purchase price of gas, and partially by the transfer of the capital cost element to the peak charge. Accordingly, working gas and peak charges increased. In contrast to transmission and storage charges, distribution charges could change quarterly. The above table compares the level of 1 October 2009 with that of 1 October 2008. In the case of customers with no metering equipment, the distribution lump sum charge is paid according to the type of fl at. The reasons for the increase of distribution charge is the additional cost acknowledged on the basis of the request of the natural gas distribution licensee TIGÁZ-DSO on price revision and the ex-post correction of the so-called temperature-adjusted quantity taken into account in the calculation of charges, which was based on the calculations of an independent expert. In 2009, public utility and universal service end-user charges exhibited the development shown in Figure 8. The base charge increased by 15% for small and medium customers, the capacity charge remained unchanged for categories over a contracted capacity of 100 m 3 /h during the year. The customers of the fi rst two categories paid a base charge lower than the justifi ed amount, therefore the increase

The gas charge decreased during the year in all customer categories. The decrease was 14% for small customers, 18% for medium customers, 22% for customers with a contracted capacity of 100 to 500 m 3 /h, and 16% for customers with a contracted capacity of over 500 m 3 /h. Public utility end user prices and the universal service average prices decreased by 8.7% by the end of the year compared to January 2009. The price and their changes in quarterly breakdown are shown in Table 15. Works in relation with price regulation, price preparation The preparation of the universal service prices and system use charges that entered into force on 1 January 2010 took place in 2009 on the basis of a cost-review.

However, the operational profi t of the transmission company exceeded its cost of capital, i.e. the additional costs were covered by the revenues. Therefore, HEO did not consider justifi ed the inclusion of the almost 3 billion cost surplus at the price modifi cation of July 2009. With regard to E.ON Földgáz Storage Zrt., the profi t to be reimbursed to customers was 251.8 billion HUF. This amount was taken into account as a reduction during the determination of the July charges by decreasing the different charges to the proportion of the justifi ed turnover amount. (The profi t cap calculation defi ned by the price regulation decree was made in accordance with the Gas Act, i.e. only the profi t of the public utility storage activities of the company was subject to investigation.) Consideration of requests on price reviews In 2009, one price reviewing claim was received by HEO from TIGÁZ-DSO natural gas distribution licensee, which related to the justifi ed cost of their gasmeter replacement programme. This corresponded to total acknowlegded additional costs of HUF 341 million. PUBLIC SERVICE OBLIGATION, CONSUMER PROTECTION Approval of codes The publication of the new Gas Act was followed by the issuance of the enforcement decree in 2009. The Business Conduct Rules of licensees largely rely on the detailed rules formulated in the enforcement decree; therefore it was inevitable for licensees to prepare new Business Conduct Rules after these detailed rules were published, and also for HEO to carry out approval procedures regarding the new codes. As a result, HEO accepted and approved 15 new Business Conduct Rules in 2009. annual report 2009 | 39
