ERE, 13 million lek more from regulatory payments - Increase in licenses, the Entity aims to collect 405.6 million lek from 419 licensed companies

The Energy Regulatory Authority predicts an increase in revenues from regulatory fees of companies operating in the energy market. In total, this department aims to collect around 405.6 million lek for 2025 from licensed entities in the electricity and natural gas sectors. Meanwhile, compared to a year ago, there are almost 13 million lek more revenues.
This increase may be due to several reasons. One of them is the increase in the number of licensed companies in the energy sector, as by December 2025 there were 419 entities or 27 entities more than a year earlier. Also, the increase in the value of regulatory payments may be due to the increase in companies' revenues over the past year.
This is because the calculation of regulatory payments for each licensee is made based on the specific share of revenues from the licensed activity for 2025 in relation to the total revenues of the sector.
The tariffs for each entity were determined through a decision approved a few days ago by the Regulatory Authority.
Meanwhile, this is the seventh year in which fixed regulatory payments of 100 thousand lek are applied to companies licensed in the activity of electricity production, supply and trading of electricity and natural gas that did not have activity in the previous year.
