K ESCO blames citizens for energy bills: You're warming up.

K E SCO has reacted as many citizens have complained of doubling the current they received this month, writes Periscopi.

According to the communiqué, K ESCO has argued to citizens' criticism, saying the reason for the increase in bills this month is due to electricity use for heating.

Full communication:

K ESCO announces consumers and public opinion that there has been no increase in end tariffs. Electricity tariffs have been revised and approximately 15% increased compared to the 2022-23 tariffs, with ZRE's decision on April 1, 2023.

The increase in the value of bills in this winter month is the result of increased electricity consumption, especially consumers using electricity for heating. The consumption of electricity worth more than 800 kWh a month is met with higher tariffs, as presented on every consumer bill. See Decision ZRE's.

The next effect of raising bill value is that last year in the same period, the Government of Kosovo has subsidised consumers who have saved electricity.

Some consumers are getting higher bills because they're massively using electricity for heating.

K E SCO is constantly committed to calling for efficient electricity savings and use, providing practical advice for each category of consumers, namely to protect consumers and the electrical system from these charges.

THE ZER has built a tariff structure divided into a lifeline. So if you as a family consumer consume up to 800 kWh, then you only submit to two blocks, day and night, which start in winter between 10:00 and 7:00.

During the day, the price is 7.79 cents per kWh, and at night about 57 percent cheaper, with an estimated 3.34 cents per kWh.

However, prices vary for consumption of over 800 kWh. If a consumer consumes 1600 kWh, then the half to 800 kWh is accounted for by the above prices. And the above is estimated at 2 additional tariffs: the high one during the day, which amounts to 14.45 cents per kWh, or 85.5 percent more expensive, and that of the night is 6.81 cents per kWh, or nearly 104 percent more expensive than spending under 800 kWh.

All these awards are marked on every bill for consumers.

Besides the physical bill, all the data on the spent kilowatts is found on the EC app. ESCO, based on the measure and cost of every consumer. And on the Web site, you can also find the calculator for spending calculations: https://www.kesco-energy.com/calculator.html
