Transmission Service

Regional electricity companies take the role of transmission companies in IREMA. Based
on the regulations, the transmission payment is calculated based on the pre-defined tariffs
for available capacity and also the energy passing through the transmission lines and pow-
er transformers. The tariffs are designated annually to the different transmission voltage
level (lines & transformers).
