Novi prozjumeri do kraja godine po starom „neto-merenju“: Da li će „neto-obračun“ biti manje isplativ?
Za domaćinstva koja do 31. decembra ove godine uđu u sistem prozjumera, odnosno proizvođača i kupca električne energije, struja će se obračunavati po starom „neto-merenju“.
TL;DR
- Households becoming prosumers by December 31, 2023, will use the 'net-metering' system for electricity billing.
- New prosumers after this date will transition to the 'net-billing' system.
- The Ministry of Mining and Energy confirmed the change, stating net-metering is to be phased out by December 31, 2026.
- Ambiguity in the Energy Law regarding the exact timeline for net-billing implementation has caused confusion.
- Experts warn that a rapid shift to net-billing could slow the prosumer market's growth and discourage investment.
- Net-metering allows surplus energy to offset future consumption, while net-billing involves separate financial calculations for energy supplied and consumed, usually with a lower price for supplied energy.
- The change aligns Serbia with EU regulations, which aim to value energy at its market price at the time of delivery.
- While the Ministry expects prosumer installations to remain profitable, concerns exist about the reduced financial benefit for households with high off-peak production.
- Regulatory uncertainty due to a lack of detailed net-billing rules is currently a significant deterrent for potential prosumers.
