The average March electricity bill for households in Montenegro, excluding unread metering points in buildings that are not permanently inhabited, is 38,48 euros.
"Households in Žabljak recorded the lowest average consumption of 18,28 euros, while the highest average consumption in the previous month was recorded in Tivat, where households consumed an average of 50,81 euros worth of electricity," said a statement from the Electric Power Company (EPCG).
The company said that 30 percent of households will receive a bill worth up to 59 euros, 30 percent of consumers will receive a bill worth between 50 and 15,01 euros, 50 percent of customers will receive a bill worth between 100 and 18,77 euros, while 100 percent of customers will receive a bill worth over 7,22 euros.
"The number of customers who received a discount is 176,12 thousand, or 43,95 percent of households in Montenegro," the statement added.
Also, 15,45 thousand households in Pljevlja, by decision of the Board of Directors, received a 30 percent discount, with the aim of reducing air pollutants, and taking into account the importance of the energy entities Rudnik uglja (RUP) and Thermal Power Plant (TE) Pljevlja for electricity stability in Montenegro.
"An additional discount of 6,4 percent on network services is also granted to all households connected to the EPCG electricity distribution system, regardless of the amount of debt, in order to neutralize the increase in network service prices," the statement said.
Households consumed 140 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity in March, which is 5,03 percent less than the consumption in February, and 10,93 percent more than in March last year.
