EVN Home launches new tender to buy electricity for households
Energy firms must submit bids; the final household price from January 1 will largely hinge on the offer ESM submits.
EVN Home has opened a new tender to buy electricity for households, the company confirmed to local media. The call was published about a week ago and now energy companies have until the deadline to submit offers; the tender will be awarded to the most favourable bidder.
Key supplier and price remain the decisive factors
Historically, the EVN Home procurement has attracted a single bid — the one from ESM. At present, the price at which the power plants sell their electricity for households to the universal supplier stands at 65 euros per megawatt-hour.
ESM told the same outlet that its calculations for the new price will be delivered to the government by mid-November. Meanwhile, the Energy Regulatory Commission is reviewing cost calculations submitted by Electrodistribution, MEMO and MEPSO and must set the updated transmission and distribution tariffs.
Which bills citizens will face from 1 January will largely depend on the price ESM offers for its electricity on this tender.
Prime Minister Mickoski said some time ago that “it is difficult to go below 65 euros per megawatt because of global developments, but an attempt was being made to keep the price the same.” The coming days will show whether the government and suppliers can hold the household energy price steady.
