"The increase in energy prices harms citizens" - Gërxhaliu: Businesses will pass on costs to products and services
The decision of the Energy Regulatory Office of Kosovo to increase the price of electricity by 16.1% for all categories, starting from May 1, will also affect the increase in product prices.
Economic expert and former President of the Kosovo Chamber of Commerce, Safet Gërxhaliu, stated in the TV Scan studio that the increase in operating costs for businesses will be transmitted to the prices of the products or services they offer.
Kosovo is unable to provide all the electricity for its over 1.6 million inhabitants solely with the production from the "Kosova A" and "Kosova B" power plants, also due to their age, while production through renewable sources such as the sun and wind is still in very small quantities.
