PRICE GOES UP 10 PERCENT Old FERK board to decide on linear electricity price increase on June 11

(Patria) - After the Regulatory Commission for Energy of FBiH (FERK) rejected the initial request of Elektroprivreda BiH for an electricity price increase, i.e., the introduction of a three-tariff model, a new request for a linear price increase for households and other consumers has already arrived.

On Tuesday, June 11, the Regulatory Commission for Energy in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina – FERK will convene, and immediately under the first item on the agenda, it will consider and decide on the Proposal of prices for the supply of end customers by the public supplier JP Elektroprivreda BiH d.d. – Sarajevo.

Elektroprivreda BiH previously stated that the proposal for a linear price increase was developed with careful consideration of current economic and market conditions, and is aimed at achieving a balance between the need to ensure the sustainability of the system and the operational readiness of electricity generation facilities.

The proposed percentage of linear increase, determined after reviewing the rejected price model, is 10% for households and 8.1% for other consumption at 0.4 kV, including energy and network fees.

Incidentally, at the last session of the House of Representatives of the Parliament of the Federation, a new composition of FERK was appointed: Samir Hadžihusejnović, a member of SDP, Sanela Pokrajčić (HDZ), and Vesna Marić (HDZ). They are expected to be confirmed by the House of Peoples, scheduled for June 12, which means that the old FERK board will consider the decision on the electricity price increase.
