Kurt didn't send comments. RHREA, the Minister Murati addresses these demand for electricity prices

At 4: 00 p.m. yesterday, the deadline for submitting comments on the Energy Regulatory Office's proposal for costing the current. But, on the official page of the Energy Regulatory Office, they fail to figure out the Kurti Office's comments.

Petit Pepaj of the ZRER has told Express that they have received comments from the Prime Minister's Office, but by two ministries.

“From the prime minister's office we haven't received comments, comments from the Government of the Republic of Kosovo have surrendered; The Ministry of Finance, Labour and Transfers and the Ministry of Economic Development” is said to respond to Pepate.

What has the Ministry of Finance proposed?

But the current ZEREH proposal, the ministry led by Hekuran Murati, has considered the burden distribution unfair.

“The RHR has seen the change in the tariff structure become only for households, bypassing businesses, which we consider to be an unfair distribution of the burden. Furthermore, the proposed new tariff block begins in consumption over 600kWh of time, which we consider to be low, especially when taken into account the fact that this change is being proposed to take place within such a short term”, says the letter.

From this ministry, they have come up with two proposals for ZERE. The first is to raise the threshold of the first block to a thousand kWH, 500 kWh for the Low Tarifa and 500 kWh for the High Tarifa.

“To make sure that the new tariff structure for households does not result in unaffordable costs for most households, we propose that the second bloc's tariffs start on after 1,000 kWh have been consumed, namely, 500 kWh at the high fee and 500 kWh at the lira fee”, has been the proposal of the MPTS.

The next proposal has been to distribute the burden to businesses as well.

In this spirit, if the same burden was applied to as to the amibity, proportionally to existing tariffs, then it would have to be with new tariffs for businesses to generate an additional 17m euros, above actual tariffs. New tariffs would have to reduce differences between business categories, which are currently huge if we compare to reaching tariffs for 0/4 About 1st Cathgorine 1 (small businesses with 10.71 cents/kWh) and Categorine 2 (supmermarks with a6.69 cents/ kh), where the gap amounts to 60 per cent”, says the ministry's letter to Z RREA.

According to the ministry, in both cases, the government's pledged subsidisation of 75m euros would suffice to cover the remaining gap following adjustments under proposals it has submitted.

With the ZERE proposal, electricity would be expensive for consumers who spend over 600 kWh of electricity.

Under this proposal, the fee for consumers with 800 kWh of electricity spent monthly will rise to 13.31 euros, while consumers who spend 1,000 kWh per month will face a 24.62-euro electricity price increase.
