It is necessary for the price of electricity to rise before the new year, said the Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Đedović today and emphasized that three and a half times more funds have been provided in the budget for socially vulnerable citizens so that, when electricity and gas prices rise, , could get a discount.
“The increase in the price of electricity is under negotiation, we think it will be necessary for it to be before the new year. We will try to increase the price of electricity as little as possible this year, but a correction is needed for the sake of the long-term stability of our energy system,” Đedović said.
She stressed that as far as energy sources are concerned, Serbia is ready for this winter as well and that it has enough reserves even if something unforeseen were to happen, so that the citizens and the economy could feel safe.
Work on amendments to the Law on Energy – a step towards transformation and Serbia gas
Dubravka Đedović emphasized that Serbia continues to work on amendments to the law on energy, which overall will provide the basis for the transformation of not only Serbia Gas, but also other energy companies.
“First of all, we need a good legal framework and foundation in order to implement changes in certain companies. We are continuing to amend the law in energy, which, overall, will give us the basis for the transformation of not only Serbia Gas, but also other energy companies,” Đedović said.
