The typical electricity bill for February among households in Montenegro, not counting unread metering points in non-permanently inhabited buildings, is 41.03 euros.

“Households in Žabljak had the lowest average expenditure at 20.56 euros, while Tivat reported the highest average, with households incurring electricity costs of 54.07 euros last month,” noted a statement from the Electric Power Company (EPCG).

The company reported that 30 percent of households will see bills of up to 58.23 euros, another 30 percent will receive bills ranging from 50 to 14.2 euros, 50 percent will have bills between 100 and 18.66 euros, and all customers will receive bills exceeding 8.91 euros.

“Approximately 155.34 thousand customers benefited from a discount, which accounts for 38.8 percent of households in Montenegro,” the statement added.

Additionally, 15.43 thousand households in Pljevlja received a 30 percent discount, determined by the Board of Directors, aimed at mitigating air pollution and recognizing the significance of the energy sectors Rudnik uglja (RUP) and Thermal Power Plant (TE) Pljevlja for electricity reliability in Montenegro.

“Moreover, all households connected to the EPCG electricity distribution system will receive an extra discount of 6.4 percent on network services, irrespective of debt, to counterbalance rising network service prices,” the statement explained.

In February, households consumed a total of 147.43 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity, representing a 10.46 percent decrease from January and an 11.87 percent increase compared to February of the previous year.
