This means that the electricity for households with two-tariff meters will be cheaper 0.31 percent, or for single-tariff measuring – 2.5 percent.
The same price goes for over 30 thousand companies, whose business premises are located in buildings and houses.
However, the price of electricity for this category of consumers has been reduced by whopping 50 percent, because they have previously been paying significantly more expensive kilowatts for cross-subsidization, and are now on the same level as in 2012.
Electricity will be more expensive only for consumers operating at voltages of 10 kV and 35 kV, which are 552 in total. Companies whose businesses require electricity of 35 kV (25 in total) will be paying 4.25 per cent more, while for those who need 10 kV the price will be increased 11.87 percent (527 companies).
These prices jumped, as energy companies explained for Pobjeda daily, due to redistribution of power vs energy ratio, in order to achieve reduced overall consumption.
The price of electricity for households will, therefore, be lower than last year and almost at the same level as in 2009 and 2013. If you add a discount of five to ten percent, to which households are entitled if they regularly pay their bills, the cost of kilowatts for households, excluding VAT, will be 7.54 cents. This means that the price regular payers will be paying for electricity is quite lower than that in 2008, when the rates were at their highest.
