Contributing to the further development of the electricity market in Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the session of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission held today, for the first time the tariffs for the electricity distribution services in Brčko District BiH have been set, which enables all eligible customers (all customers except households) to freely choose the supplier and purchase electricity.

In addition, the Commission has set the tariff rates for households in the District, adjusting them in comparison to the applicable ones for the adequate allocation of costs to tariff elements, while keeping the average electricity price on the present level

Furthermore, a new Decision on tariffs for ancillary services has been adopted, which are of particular importance for reliable operation of the BiH power system.

At the same session, decisions on tariffs for operation of ISO and electricity transmission services have not been adopted. Even after exhaustive analyses during two-month long tariff proceedings,  the members of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission failed to agree on a single approach to setting the annual revenue requirement for the operation of Elektroprijenos Bosne i Hercegovine (The Company for Transmission of Electric Power of Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the Independent System Operator in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is, to the level of tariffs for services provided by these two companies in 2012.
