ENERGY COMMUNITY: Decision on Capping Electricity Prices for the Economy up to Serbia, Recommendation for Measures to be Temporary and Targeted
In response to the question about what the best solution for Serbia would be in the current electricity crisis, she says that the big oscillations in the price of energy sources on the daily level are, to a certain extent, the result of the anxiety and pressure that are spreading on all levels, among energy companies, consumers and politicians.
– In such circumstances, it is very important not to make rush decisions that would solve the problem of a certain category of purchasers in the short term, while having negative consequences to the further development of the entire energy sector, which is a vital branch of the economy, in the long term – Trhulj warns.
In order to avoid this, she adds, the measures should be temporary, balanced and directed exclusively to the jeopardized categories of purchasers and industries, with a minimal impact on the operations and the competition in the market, in which the EU guidelines should help as well.
When asked whether the capping of electricity prices for the economy in Serbia, which has been announced, would be tantamount to a breach of the agreement and obligations that Serbia has taken upon itself and how the Energy Community sees this, Trhulj says that the parties to the Energy Community agreement, including Serbia, have the right to independently adopt measures that they estimate are the most efficient in solving the problem.
– Those measures should be enabled by a legal framework, including the Founding Act of the Energy Community, to which Serbia has obliged – eKapija’s interviewee pointed out.
