The average electricity bill for households in Montenegro in March, excluding unmetered locations in non-permanently inhabited buildings, amounted to 38.48 EUR.
“Households in Žabljak recorded the lowest average consumption at 18.28 EUR, while the highest average consumption was recorded in Tivat, where households spent an average of 50.81 EUR on electricity in the previous month,” stated the announcement from the Electric Power Company (EPCG).
According to the company, 59% of households received bills of up to 30 EUR, 15.01% had bills ranging from 30 to 50 EUR, 18.77% of consumers had bills between 50 and 100 EUR, and 7.22% of customers had bills exceeding 100 EUR.
“The number of customers who received a discount stands at 176,120, or 43.95% of households in Montenegro,” the statement added.
Additionally, 15,450 households in Pljevlja received a 30% discount, as decided by the Board of Directors, in an effort to reduce air pollution, considering the importance of the Coal Mines (RUP) and the Pljevlja Thermoelectric Power Plant (TE) for Montenegro’s energy stability.
“An additional discount of 6.4% on network services is granted to all households connected to EPCG’s electricity distribution system, regardless of their debt, to offset the increase in network service prices,” the statement further explained.
In March, households consumed 140 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, which is 5.03% less compared to February, while consumption increased by 10.93% compared to March of the previous year.
