The Energy Regulation Entity is considering removing the price
structure, which has a cheaper price for under 300 KW, and more
expensive if this limit is crossed. The head of the ERE, Petrit Ahmetaj,
declared that next year they will establish a unified fee.
“The pricing structure in two blocks has created problems, because the reading mechanism needs to be correct. This structure allows for abuses with the consumer”, Ahmetaj declared.
The price energy is calculated in two blocks. Families pay 7.7 ALL per KW before they reach 300 KW. The price beyond this limit is 13.5 ALL per KW. Chances are that there will be a unified price that will be somewhere in the middle of these two.
“I cannot say what the new price will be. We need analyzes, but even if it will be higher than the protected limit, the protection of consumers in need will be realized”, Ahmetaj declared.
Official data from the ERE show that more than 75% of the Albanian families have a monthly consumption that goes beyond 300 KW.
With a price higher than 7.7 ALL, it would automatically increase the monthly bill for those who pay energy. The measure will depend on the new price. The government says that it will protect the categories in need. One of the variants is that of compensating 100.000 families in cash. This is about the families who are part of the welfare system, and who make 12% of the total families.
