ZRER extends KEKA's deadline as Last Energy Supplier for Energy Business

In Kosovo all companies that have more than 50 workers or circulation over 10m euros annually were forced to switch to the open energy market by 1 June.

That means they have to contract with one of the 21 companies licensed in the country for energy supply.

Companies that have failed to contract are supplied by KEK as the last opportunity for electricity supply.

According to the Law on Electric Energy provisions, the Last possible supplier is a supplier assigned for a limited period of time and provides supply services for consumers who have failed to contract another supplier, or who have lost their existing supplier.

This supplier is determined through an open tender announced by the ERE.

Based on this tender, the regulator appoints the FMF for a three-year period.

But in case a supplier is not selected for that period, sir. The RRE has the right to appoint a temporary supplier for a period of no longer than six months, during which the new tender will be held.

The ZER has given no official reason for extending KEK's mandate as FMF until 31 January 2026.

The FMF also provides support to consumers who are in the process of searching for an alternative supplier for a 60-day period.

This development follows the effect of the Energy Regulatory Office decision (ZRRE) for liberalisation of the electricity market.

The decision envisions that businesses that meet the cited criteria should choose their own energy supplier in the free market, at prices unregulated by state institutions.

KEK has indicated that there is tremendous interest in businesses to link supply contracts, but has not specified their number.
