The Kosovo Electricity Distribution Company (KEDS) has announced that it has started disconnecting more than 1,400 metering points of commercial consumers who have not signed an agreement with a supplier licensed by the Energy Regulatory Office (ERO), as stipulated by the ERO’s decision of August 13.

The latter had announced that disconnections would begin on August 16, following the ruling of the Commercial Court in favor of the ERO.

According to the announcement, over 600 smart meters will be disconnected remotely, while the rest will be physically disconnected by KEDS field teams across Kosovo.

KEDS emphasized that these consumers had been notified several times about the necessity of signing an agreement with a licensed supplier, since they met the conditions for participation in the open electricity market.

The company calls on businesses that have not yet acted to sign an agreement as soon as possible with a supplier licensed by the ERO in order to ensure continuity of electricity supply.

Otherwise, this action is being carried out despite numerous complaints from businesses and warnings from their representatives that they will file an appeal with the Supreme Court, as the Commercial Court ruled in favor of the ERO.
