Liitumistasud

Liitumistasud are connection fees charged by utility providers in Estonia. These fees are typically paid by a new customer when they wish to connect to a public utility service, such as electricity, water, sewerage, or natural gas. The purpose of the liitumistasud is to cover the costs associated with extending the existing network infrastructure to the new customer's property. This can include expenses for design, permits, materials, and labor required to lay new pipes, cables, or other network components.

The specific amount of a liitumistasud can vary significantly depending on the type of utility, the distance from the existing network, the complexity of the connection, and the service provider's pricing policy. In some cases, the fees might be regulated by Estonian law or by local government decisions to ensure fairness and prevent excessive charges. Customers are usually informed about these fees during the application process for a new service connection. It is important for potential customers to inquire about and understand the liitumistasud before committing to a service, as they can represent a substantial upfront cost.
