Note 21 Revenue

• 1 There has been a change of view which, in the comparative figures for 2015, results in the transfer of an amount of €46 million in respect of operating contributions and other operating income from other revenue to the item ‘Other income’ below.

Revenue for 2015 was up by €44 million compared with 2015, at €1,584 million. The increase is mainly accounted for by the addition of the newly acquired service area in Friesland and the Noordoostpolder (€62 million) combined with growth in the number of connections for both gas and electricity as well as for the metering services (€14 million). In the regulated domain, the reduced charges for gas and electricity distribution and new connections (down by €22 million) and for metering services (down by €33 million) had a negative impact on revenue while growth in activities outside the regulated domain produced an increase in other revenue (€23 million).
