"The price of lights will decrease" - Balluku: The decision will affect all Albanians
The price of electricity in 2025 will be reduced for all Albanians". In the greeting for the New Year, the Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Belinda Balluku confirmed that there will be a review of the tariffs, based on the performance of the public energy companies, as was warned a while ago.
"Energy has made essential steps during 2024, for the first time our enterprises have managed to have positive, well-managed balance sheets.
Technically well managed, offering better energy distribution or transmission conditions, but on the other hand, there is also a very important achievement during 2024, stabilization of the finances of these economies, giving us the opportunity during 2025 to reduce the price of electricity for all Albanians", said Balluku.
Balluku also focused on the reduction of energy losses in the electrical network, which will also affect the reduction of the price of energy.
"Also, we have reduced technical losses to the level of 17.93, creating additional income for companies and thus enabling the reduction of this energy price. Also, during the summer season, we have managed to cope with unforeseen and never-before-seen flows and demand for electricity.
However, the system has worked best thanks to the extraordinary work done by all the employees of OSHEE, or even those of OST", said the minister.
The final decision on reducing the price of electricity is taken by the Energy Regulatory Authority, after the application that must be submitted by the Electricity Distribution Operator.
