Energy sector companies in Kosovo have requested an increase in electricity tariffs, the head of the Board of the Electricity Regulatory Office (ERO), Ymer Fejzullahu, confirmed to Radio Free Europe.
"The System, Transmission and Market Operator [KOST], the Kosovo Electricity Distribution Company [KEDS] and the Kosovo Electricity Supply Company [KESCO] have submitted applications for tariff review," says Fejzullahu, but does not specify how much their request for increase is.
Currently, he says, ERO is in the evaluation phase of these applications.
After completing this process, he says that this institution will draft a detailed evaluation report, which will also be available for public consultation.
ERO conducts the annual review and setting of electricity tariffs, which are announced every April 1 and are valid until March 31 of the following year.
Last year, ERO reduced the price for commercial and industrial customers by 3 percent.
But, a year earlier, in 2023, tariffs increased by 15 percent for all categories of consumers.
Currently, for consumers who consume up to 800 kilowatt hours per month, the price of electricity during the day is 7.79 cents per kilowatt, while for those who consume more than 800 kilowatts, the portion above this is calculated at a price of 14.45 cents.
From 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM, the price per kilowatt is 3.34 cents for those who spend up to 800 kilowatts and 6.81 cents for those who spend more./ REL (A2 Televizion)
