Everyone on the Tartu networkGren Tartu publishes one price for the whole network — homes, apartment associations and city buildings alike. Both figures exclude VAT, which is how Gren and the Competition Authority publish and approve them.

A megawatt-hour is 1,000 kWh. Tartu's heat is metered at the building, then split between flats by the apartment association (korteriühistu) — usually by heated floor area — so your own share of the building's total is the figure worth checking, not the whole building's reading.
What it means on your bill

VAT is on top of these numbers
The prices here are Gren's published rate before VAT, which is how the Competition Authority approves them. Estonia's VAT has been 24% since 1 July 2025, so €62.41 comes to about €77.39 per MWh on a bill, and the new €65.39 comes to about €81.08. Your own bill may also carry your apartment association's own charges on top, which have nothing to do with this price.
Where the two prices come from
€65.39/MWh is the Competition Authority's decision 7-3/2026-055 of 11 August 2026, taking effect 1 October 2026 — it appears at that figure on Gren's own price list and in the regulator's own table of approved end-consumer prices. €62.41/MWh is the price Gren has published as in force since December 2025, itself a reduction from the €64.69/MWh the Authority had approved that April; the regulator's own summary table still lists that April 2025 decision as the one on record before this one, so a bill from between December 2025 and September 2026 is the better check if you have one.
What this page can and cannot tell you
It multiplies the published rate by the usage you enter. Nothing else.
It cannot know how much you will use. A cold winter, a draughty house or a new tenant change your usage far more than the rate does.
Your real bill can also carry fixed charges, taxes and adjustments that are not in this rate. Your own bill is the authority — this page is arithmetic.
