Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG) has initiated a procurement procedure for the upgrade of its electricity billing platform, a system responsible for transforming metering data into customer invoices, recorded revenue and payment collection records. The procurement notice was published on 10 July, with bids scheduled to be submitted by 10 August 2026.
The new software solution will be integrated with Oracle E-Business Suite and the AMM remote-metering platform, which forms part of Montenegro’s electricity metering infrastructure.
Billing platform linked to revenue management process
The billing system connects customer accounts, electricity supply contracts, metering points, tariff structures, discounts, outstanding receivables and payments. Within the existing framework, the AMM system remotely collects and processes electricity consumption data. The billing platform then allocates the recorded consumption to the appropriate customer account and tariff period before generating invoices and transferring financial information into EPCG’s corporate systems. The upgraded platform is intended to support the processing of consumption data, invoicing and revenue recording activities across the utility’s operations.
Upgrade coincides with broader investment programme
The procurement comes as EPCG advances an investment cycle that includes solar energy projects, wind power developments, hydropower assets and digital services. The company is also seeking approval for up to €64.22 million in long-term financing for a portfolio of ten renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of 95.87 MW.
According to company projections, the renewable portfolio is expected to generate approximately 124,518 MWh of electricity annually, while producing first-year revenue of around €20.7 million and EBITDA of approximately €20 million.
Integration and data management central to implementation
The procurement includes the integration of the new billing platform with existing metering and corporate information systems. Utility billing systems contain extensive customer records and historical consumption data, making data migration and system integration key elements of the project.
The implementation process will involve the transfer and reconciliation of billing data between EPCG, CEDIS, software providers and financial systems. The project also encompasses requirements related to cybersecurity, user-acceptance testing, disaster recovery procedures and parallel billing operations. The upgraded platform is expected to support billing processes associated with conventional electricity supply activities as well as the development of the prosumer market, including more complex tariff structures and customer arrangements.
