The Serbian government recommended at its session to the Public Enterprise “Electric Power Industry of Serbia” (EPS) Belgrade to introduce a discount on electricity charges for customers from the “household” category and thereby reduce electricity bills, starting with the bill for October 2022 and ending with the bill for March 2023.
Households that reduce electricity consumption by five to 20 percent compared to the same month last year will be entitled to a 15 percent discount, while households that reduce consumption by 20 to 30 percent will be entitled to a 20 percent discount on their electricity bill.
The biggest discount, of 30 percent, will be given to households that reduce electricity consumption by more than 30 percent compared to the same month of the previous year.
In this way, citizens who by saving electricity reduce their electricity bill will receive an additional discount on that bill, in percentages according to the above formula.
In this way, the state will stimulate households to reduce electricity consumption, which will help reduce the costs of EPS and stabilise the supply, due to the global disruption in the electricity market and the sudden price jump.
