The price of electricity could increase in the coming year, and the percentage of increase for households with two-tariff metering, of which there are the most in Montenegro, would amount to 5.63%. This decision, however, is not yet final.
Namely, the Regulatory Agency for Energy and Regulated Utilities (REGAGEN) issued a report based on opinions and objections to the report on the analysis of documentation at the request of the Montenegrin electric distribution system for determining the regulatory permitted income and prices for 2024 and 2025.
As announced by the Agency, the decision on determining the prices for the use of the electricity distribution system will be made after the open part of the session of the REGAGEN Board, taking into account any new arguments, information and documentation submitted at the session itself, which will be held on Monday, 27th November.
– Therefore, the information on the amount of CEDIS‘s regulatory allowed income as well as its impact on the prices for users of the distribution system, which we are currently sharing with the public, is not final – it is stated in the announcement.
As they stated, CEDIS required the regulatory allowed income which is transposed into prices for the year 2024 of 111.08 million EUR and for the year 2025 in the amount of 116.38 million EUR.
– REGAGEN, on the basis of the documentation submitted by CEDIS at this stage of the procedure, assessed as established the regulatory allowed income which is transposed into the prices for the year 2024 in the amount of 94.6 million, which is EUR 16.48 million, or 14, 84% less than the required amount – they said from REGAGEN.
Also, based on the documentation submitted by CEDIS at this stage of the procedure, it assessed as established the regulatory allowed income that is transposed into prices for the year 2025 in the amount of 108.16 million EUR, which is 8.22 million or 7.06 % less than the required amount.
