After the announcement of the new prices, electricity became the main topic in the public, and many commented that they are scared of how much they will pay, because for the first time we do not have a precisely announced percentage of price increase that will apply to all households, and we have 4 block tariffs. in the high tariff

For consumed electricity in the amount of 6.000 denars at the old price, according to the price list that will be valid from tomorrow, in the future 6.500 denars will have to be allocated. This is shown by the transparency calculator, posted on the website of the Energy Regulatory Commission.

The check is made by entering data from a specific invoice for a period when those who are heated by electricity, usually pay the highest bills. The invoiced period is from 15.1.2022 to 11.2.2022, which means 28 days. Thereby, 584 kilowatt-hours were consumed in the expensive tariff, and 341 kilowatt-hours in the cheap one. The consumed electricity is for a family that heats an apartment of 60 square meters with two inverter air conditioners, an apartment that is considered cold in the winter months because it is on the ground floor.

The exact amount of the paid invoice is 5.987 denars, but if the same invoice arrives at the new price and with the block tariffs, it will be 6.487 denars. In this case, the increase in prices is 8,63 percent, while, as stated by the President of the Energy Regulatory Commission Marko Bislimoski, the average increase in electricity prices by 98,8 percent of households is 7,4 percent.

The set up of the calculator of the Energy Regulatory Commission shows that the calculations of the block tariffs will go easily, because the calculator does it now, in one second. According to Bislimoski, the citizens should not be disturbed if the electricity meter is not read to them for a long time, because the block tariffs refer to the consumed electricity in the high tariff within 30 days.

- If, for example, the electricity meters are read after 40 days, then the first block tariff will not be for 210 kilowatt-hours consumed, because it is for 30 days, but will be for 280 kilowatt-hours consumed (7 kilowatts per day after 40 days) - explained Bislimoski.

The government says this is a fair system of paying for electricity in times of energy crisis.

The leader of VMRO-DPMNE Hristijan MickoskiHe said that "a 7,5 percent increase is a dizziness for the public, because if you calculate on an annual basis, especially in winter and summer, when climates are used, the increase will be around 17,5 percent ".
