Family debts to OSHEE, over 44 billion lekë - Reliefs/ New installment repayment scheme implemented, businesses also benefit
The Electricity Distribution Operator began implementing new agreements on July 21 for the installment payment of outstanding obligations until December 31, 2023 for household and business subscribers.
Data from the Energy Regulatory Authority shows that, as of December 31, 2023, household customers' debts to OSHEE amounted to 45.40 billion lek, accounting for the largest share of total arrears. Meanwhile, private customers, who can also benefit from relief schemes, had accumulated 11.69 billion lek in unpaid liabilities.
This year, debt levels for these two categories are lower, at 44.67 and 9.63 billion lekë, respectively, while this decrease is also related to the settlement schemes for the installment settlement of overdue debts.
Meanwhile, according to the scheme currently being applied, family clients receiving economic assistance and pensioners can repay their debt with fixed monthly installments of 1,200 lek, while the rest of the family clients can repay their debt with installments of 2,800 lek. For businesses, payments will be determined according to the value of the debt and can be extended up to 120 installments.
In parallel, OSHEE has also approved a late payment interest reduction scheme: family members who repay the obligation at once benefit from a 70% reduction in late payment interest, while non-family customers benefit from a 100% reduction. To benefit from these benefits, subscribers must have liquidated the obligations created during 2024 and onwards. The signing of the agreements takes place at the Customer Care centers.
