According to SEP and the Netherlands Government, the revenue from the price surcharge does not, in any event, favour the domestic generation of electricity since it serves to cover non-market-compatible costs, namely investments made in the past, and has no effect on the price of domestic electricity.
SEP ja Madalmaade valitsus väidavad, et lisatasust saadavast tulust ei teki igal juhul eeliseid kodumaisele elektritootmisele, kuna seda kasutatakse selleks, et katta turule mittevastavaid kulusid, st varem tehtud investeeringuid ning see ei mõjuta kuidagi kodumaise elektri hinda.
