The ongoing review of electricity tariff methodology ahead of the next regulatory period signals a subtle but important shift in Montenegro’s energy governance. Regulators are reassessing cost recovery models, network charges, and incentive structures to better reflect system realities.
Tariff design is increasingly about balancing affordability with investment needs. Grid maintenance, loss reduction, and integration of new generation require capital, yet social and political constraints limit price flexibility.
The review process indicates greater emphasis on transparency and predictability, which are critical for investor confidence. Clear methodologies reduce regulatory risk and support long-term planning, even if headline tariffs remain politically sensitive.
