SUMMARY

of a Decision on amendments to the Tariff pricing methodology for services of electricity transmission, operation of independent system operator and ancillary services

The State Electricity Regulatory Commission has been continuously monitoring and supporting the process of electricity market development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Safe and reliable operation of the power system with a functional method for the provision of ancillary services is the basic precondition for further electricity market development and quality supply of customers. An efficient balancing market has to be based on transparent relationships among all electricity market participants.

Having analysed the current operation of the balancing market in BiH, SERC is of the opinion that there are justified reasons for its improvement. With a view to further developing the relationships in the sector, at the session held on 16 November 2016 SERC defined a Draft decision on amendments to the Tariff pricing methodology for services of electricity transmission, operation of independent system operator and ancillary services.

At the same time the State Electricity Regulatory Commission issues
