Unprecedented pressure on the Court of Appeals to back ZREA's decision against 1300 businesses

It has been more than a week since the Commercial Court had suspended the decision of the Energy Regulatory Office (ZRRE), which concerns the emergence of businesses into the liberalised electricity market. At the Court's announcement, it was said that Mr. The RRE to bring all consumers into the free market, based on a false interpretation of legal provisions, is a serious violation of the law.

After this court ruling, Z THREE recently complained in the Second Stairway of the Commercial Court's act, and their complaint seems to have taken a quick epilogue since this weekend.

Periscop sources suggest that while Appeals is considering ZRE's complaint, the times are putting a huge pressure on them to approve the ZRE complaint about the decision to exit to <x0market” of electricity, so, as they call it, about a thousand and three hundred violent exit businesses where they will face three-four times more expensive prices on behalf of market liberalisation.

According to the same source, on this weekend the verdict is expected to be issued, whether this Court will bring down Copernicus's suspension measure, or confirm it.

In the event of approval of the ZRE complaint, the pending measures would be rejected, Kosovo businesses would face great difficulties.

The rejection of the suspended move would put these businesses in an uneven position in relation to larger consumers, undermining competition. Some may even push to bankruptcy

The ZRE's decision to liberalise the energy market has entered into force on 1 June. The decision had seen that companies with more than 50 workers or circulation of over 10m euros a year are forced to switch to the open energy market by June 1st.

However, companies that had failed to link contracts with a supplier had also given them an opportunity to supply KEK with energy.

This option was to be used only for a 60-day period of July 31st.
