TIRANA, April 23 /ATA/ – By I. Vata/ Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku, stated on Saturday that there will be no electricity price hike for households and small business.
In a televised interview, Balluku spoke about the situation in the country regarding the price of energy and proposal for another price for consumers over 700 kV.
“There are two different facts, first of all there is no decision yet. We have started a market analysis to see how it might work. In case a household consumption exceeds 700 kV, a different price will apply, which in fact was demanded by the public, because not everyone should pay the same price. As Prime Minister has put it several times, “families that consume for lighting of yards, swimming pools, gardens should not have the same treatment as those for basic consumption”, she said.
Balluku added that the government will not change anything from what it has said, the household consumer will be cushioned from the soaring energy price, the same will apply to small business.
