Why do energy taxes change so often?

Why do energy taxes change?

Customers often wonder why the tax components on their energy bill change regularly. Unlike Leafy Energy’s own tariffs, these amounts are not set by the supplier.

Factors that influence taxes

• Government policy: changes in climate and energy policy.
• Budget cycles: tax rates are often reviewed each year.
• Market conditions: extreme price movements can trigger temporary policy adjustments.

How Leafy Energy handles this

• Changes are announced in advance in the notification centre.
• In the app you can compare, year by year, how the share of taxes in your total costs evolves.

This keeps the impact of government decisions visible, separate from Leafy Energy’s dynamic tariff components.
