power grid


Explanation:
This is a quick answer -- the Slovak appears to be saying 'contribution to the power grid'.

Windmills for example 'tie into' the power grid, the distribution grid. Grid here meaning of course the network, 'matrix'... Sorry, must rush.

total electric (total electricity) ? >>>


Explanation:
Here is how I see the term "silova elektrina. It is not only actual electricity what you will use, but all those extra expenses before it is delivered by regional distributors to our homes ....
As you vill read your own "Consumers power statement, you see:
electric....$$$
securitization charge ....$$$
securitization tax charge ...$$$
security recovery factor....$$$
------------------------------
Total electric.......$$$$
sales tax........????
total current bill......$$$$
I would say Total electric or total electricity
try type on internet and you'll see many hits...Good luck. Do not pay attention to typo .....
Here is text in S.l. "Urad pre regulaciu sietovych odvetvi. Usilie uradu spociva v tlaku na operatorov v sietach, aby o svoje zariadenia starali s cim mensimi nakladmi a pritom zabezpecili spolahlivost dodavky elektriny. Urad sa snazi minimalizovat naklady na systemove sluzby. O ich zabezlecenie sa stara Slovenska elektrizacna prenosova sustava tak, ze si objednava podporne sluzby od vyrobcov elektriny. V pripade podnikatelov a komunalneho sektora urad strazi? (zdrazi) ceny za spomenute sluzby, ale uz nie samotnu elektrinou ako komoditu. Ta sa nazyva silova elektrina a na celkovej cene sa podiela ...." from www.hnonline.sk >>Dolezita uloha regulacneho uradu.

silova elektrina - teda to co skutocne spotrebujete (kWh) a potom priplatky za rozne sluzby, zvlast za to ze je dovedena do vasho bytu, domu....nie priamo od vyrobcu ale prostrednictvom regionalneho distributora....www.energetika.cz>>>Dotaz cislo 635 ze dne 04/04 200
