The financial crisis of the Albanian Energetic Corporation (KESH) has
obliged the government to urgently send to draft-laws in Parliament for
easing the budget of KESH.
The first draft removes from KESH the obligation to supply electricity to companies that consume more than 50 million KW hours annually, which reduced the budget of KESH with 40 million EUR each year.
The second draft makes the KESH bill equal to an executive court order, as the CEZ uses for the consumers. This intervention helps KESH to collect the debts that CEZ owes them.
The opposition declared that the energy system in the country is facing enormous debt and the energy distribution scheme is penalizing KESH. The opposition claims that the government has practically given away for free the Distribution Authority to CEZ. The opposition says that the value, in which the distribution was sold, is equal to the subventions of the last three years that KESH has made to CEZ by selling them energy with a very low price.
The two draft-laws have not been voted, after the opposition objected for the lack of sufficient number of MPs on the Parliament floor.
