Mickoski warns electricity prices could rise by up to 5 percent and outlines measures to curb increases

Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski said household electricity tariffs could rise by up to 5 percent, while the authorities are drawing up measures to soften the impact.

Planned measures include securing coal from Kosovo for REK Bitola, using domestic production and importing additional amounts of electricity from Greece. At the same time, the aim is to bring the third unit of the Bitola power plant back into operation.

According to Mickoski, electricity prices on European markets have risen as much as threefold. He said prices could reach 350–400 euros per megawatt-hour in the coming months.

Capacity is being prepared to transport more than 6,000 tonnes of coal a day from Kosovo, using over 200 trucks.

The prime minister stressed that the government is working to ensure a stable energy supply and limit the impact of the crisis on the prices paid by citizens.
