Favorable energy price for water utilities - Regulatory Authority approves tariffs to be applied during 2025
The Energy Regulatory Authority has approved the prices at which water utilities supplied by the Supplier of Last Resort will pay for electricity during 2025, maintaining last year's preferential tariffs.
According to the decision, companies that are connected to the 35 kV voltage will be charged 9.33 lek/kWh, while for companies that are connected to the 20, 10 and 6 kV voltage, the price will be 11.77 lek/kWh.
The application of preferential prices for water supply and sewage companies began in 2023, following a request made to KESH by the National Water Supply and Sewerage Agency and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, on the need for water supply companies to apply special tariffs in order to guarantee the financial aspects of the water supply and sewage companies' activities, including debt recovery.
At that time, it was requested that the reduction in electricity tariffs be followed by the recovery of the debt that these companies have towards the Electricity Distribution Operator. Currently, according to the latest available data, the value of outstanding invoices until October 2024 amounts to around 19.7 billion lek.
