ZRRE hosts Appeal decision, price of energy remains in effect

Fejozlah has called the decision fair the expensive power of electricity, despite the provision of the Constitutional Court.

He during reporting to the Commission for Economics, said that expensive price energy tariffs would be in force until the Court of Appeals decides.

We have made the right decision and are exploiting our right to complain in courts at other levels regarding the Constitutional Court's decision. This decision is not of a definite form, there is space of complaint by the ZRE, any decision that will be by the Court of Appeals we will respect and implement. The Constitutional Court's decision is not applicable immediately, and the past has had such cases in the first degree, the moment of the courts of us as ZRE when we won cases of sė has been in need of implementation, the moment we lost the cases we have acted on as the Appeals Court has decided”, he said.

Despite that, chairman of the Commission for Economy, deputy PDK's, Ferat Shala said the current demand for energy import is below 1 per cent.

Consequently, he asked the chairman of the ZREA board for opportunities that during the summer months, when local capacities meet energy requirements, new energy tariffs are abolished.

“A will probably demand that during the summer months, now that there is no need for import, and that the costs of operators are without additional expenses to turn the situation into normal and precautionary. Today I have information that the import requirement is below 1 percent”, the opposition MP asked.

However, Feyzullahu said ZRE is considering months that there will be no need for energy imports.

“The ZRE has also taken into account months that will not need import. You can even go into the approved balance, you can see there that we always know that in a few months we don't need import. That additional cost which has been recognised has been distributed over the annual period to all categories that have caused that additional cost”, he stressed.

Meanwhile, AAK deputy Pal Lekaj asked about millions of energy losses in the country's north.

“are paid over 70m euros, (for the north) this is unaffordable and we've almost landed a profitable company like COST near bankruptcy. As long as this goes on and do you have hope that this will be resolved”, Lekaj asked.

In terms of this, Fejzullahu said there are compensations for the licensing of the Elektroserver company in the north.

The Elektroserver license “is part of the Brussels Agreement that was reached in 2013 and the 2015 conclusion. That agreement could not be realised due to obstacles from the Serb side. We're making efforts, you know, the government, but even the ZRE as part of this discussion in Brussels we've managed to get closer to the issue of Elektroseverir licensing”, he added.

On the other hand, LVVA's deputy, member of this commission, Armen Munja, asked for the GEN energy company.

“What company GEN was, since you relicensed it in 2016 and again. GEN what company it is, Slovenian company”, Muja said.

In this regard, the chairman of the ZRE Board said GEN is the Slovenian company, which has been licensed to trade energy in Kosovo for ten years. He added that in all his relication documents, the GEN is registered as the branch in Tirana.

This has been licensed for wholesale trade for more than ten years. Even this year, since during the re-licensing process of all documents in ZRE, it's that it's registered as a branch in Tirana GEN... As for your information, participation in the year 2021 is underachieved by GEN in relation to import-export of electricity if compared to other Slovenian companies covering 60-70 percent of import”, Fejzu God stated.

Before deputies, Fejzuluu also presented the labour report for 2021.

The commission at today's meeting also approved the report with recommendations for the Project on Protection of Competition and the Tourism Bill.
