It is the loss of the right to a public service in accordance with the law and transition to the marketing supply where the prices are determined by market mechanisms, the reason for a significant increase in electricity prices for certain customers. When signing a contract with the Electric Power Association of BiH on the supply in 2025, customers were acquainted with all conditions, including prices and other elements of the contract.

Market supply prices are uniform for all customers. The only correct way to determine the percentage of increasing market supply price is a comparison of the overall calculated cost with new and previous prices. It is not recommended to compare individual tariff elements (active energy, accounting force, measuring place), as the price is parted in different tariff elements, “the Electric Urivreda Bosnia and Herzegovina said.
