TL;DR
- Consumers report receiving significantly higher electricity bills for December, with some increases up to three times the previous month's amount.
- Complaints have been lodged with newspapers and consumer protection associations like "Efektiva".
- Reasons suggested for the increased bills include a rise in electricity prices, a lowered threshold for the "red zone" of highest consumption, and suspected incorrect meter readings.
- Consumer protection associations advise comparing meter readings with billed amounts and checking for discrepancies.
- Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) and Elektrodistribucija Srbije (EDS) have provided channels for customers to report billing issues and incorrect readings.
- EDS denies systemic errors in meter readings, stating that individual cases need to be investigated, but acknowledges that unintentional errors will be corrected.
- There are suspicions among consumers and consumer advocates that technical issues with new digital meters or even intentional manipulation could be contributing to the discrepancies.
