SERC PASSED DECISIONS ON TARIFFS FOR DISTRIBUTION AND SUPPLY IN BRČKO DISTRICT OF BIH

At the session of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission held on 16 February 2023 in Tuzla, the decisions on tariffs for distribution services and electricity supply within the universal service in the Brčko District of BIH were passed, which will be applied as of 1 March 2023. A public hearing on this tariff proceeding was held on 30 January 2023 in Brčko.

An average electricity price for the customers supplied within the universal service increased by 26.36%, amounting to 19.75 fening/kWh for households and 21.69 fening/kWh for other consumers, that is, commercial customers connected to the 0,4 kV and whose annual consumption does not exceed 35,000 kWh.

An average tariff for electricity distribution increased by 5.03% amounting to 5.85 fening/kWh.

The price change was caused by an increase in the electricity purchase price, which is 33.6% higher in comparison to the price in 2022, which is the consequence of the global and regional energy crisis. With the aim of mitigating the financial consequences due to the purchase price increase, the seasonal tariff rates have been equalised.

In the decision-making process SERC, took into account the measures of the Brčko District Government under which a part of electricity costs for vulnerable customers is subsidised, which includes over 37% of households, and the possibility of other forms of assistance in line with applicable practice in the countries in the region and Europe during the current energy crisis.
