The calculations of the Energy Regulatory Commission are that if the new system of block tariffs was not introduced, the price of electricity would have increased by more than 17 percent.
Electricity on Friday increased by an average of 7.4% for the three block tariffs. For the fourth block in which the largest consumers are, there will be the largest increase in the price of electricity, which will range from 11.4% to almost 100 percent for those who consume enormous electricity. This means that the average price of electricity for 98.8 percent of households will increase by 7.4 percent. "The calculations of the Energy Regulatory Commission are that if the new system of block tariffs was not introduced, electricity would have risen by 17.74%," said the head of the regulatory body, Marko Bislimoski.
Today, the Energy Regulatory Commission held a preparatory session, after which it officially announced how much the electricity will be more expensive from July 1, depending on the offered tariffs of EVN Home, AD ESM, AD MEPSO, MEMO and Elektrodistribucija.
