PRESS RELEASE

ERO, on 18 May 2022, received from the Court of Appeals the Decision through which the Court rejected the appeal of ERO and verified the Decision of the Basic Court to postpone the execution of the decision on retail electricity tariffs, approved by ERO, until the Court decides with a final court decision, regarding the plaintiff's lawsuit.

The Board of ERO, in an extraordinary meeting, on Friday, 20 May 2022, decided to implement the Court Decision, postponing the execution of the decision on retail electricity tariffs. The decision was published on the official website of ERO, and it was sent to regulated operators in the energy sector.

Following the receipt of the decision, the Universal Service Supplier (USS) of electricity has requested instructions from ERO regarding the manner of implementing the decision of ERO, which is derived from the Decision of the Court of Appeals. KOSTT, also through a public reaction, has stated that the situation created after the Decision of the Court of Appeals, jeopardizes the security of electricity supply and the connection agreement with ENTSO-E.

As the Decisions do not contain explanations on how to implement them, creating huge ambiguities of implementation, ERO has addressed the competent Courts for instructions on how to implement the Decision on Postponement of the Execution of the Decision on retail electricity tariffs. At the same time, ERO has addressed the Supreme Court through the exercise of extraordinary legal remedies.

ERO is consulting with all relevant institutions of the Republic of Kosovo as well as other stakeholders, in order to find solutions as soon as possible on how to implement the decision
