New Methodology for Electricity Calculation: What is Changing and Will It Affect Citizen Bills?
The Energy Agency of Serbia (AERS) recently amended the methodology for determining the price of electricity for guaranteed supply, making four new decisions. Danas's sources assess that these changes will not currently affect the rise in electricity prices for citizens and businesses, but that new costs incurred by the changes could burden the price of electricity in the future.
TL;DR
- AERS has amended its electricity pricing methodology for guaranteed supply with four new decisions.
- The changes primarily affect energy entities, especially renewable energy producers.
- The methodology now details cost allocation, includes leasing costs in operational expenses, and classifies power plants as a distinct customer group.
- While immediate price increases for consumers are not anticipated, future bills might be affected by these new cost recognitions, such as leasing expenses.
- The adjustments aim to better align production with system needs, especially for fluctuating renewable energy sources, and could lead to more differentiated costs for power plants based on their efficiency and grid compatibility.
- Experts believe these changes pave the way for future price adjustments by more accurately defining justifiable business costs for electricity providers like EPS.
