Furthermore, 15,430 households in Pljevlja, as per the decision of the Board of Directors, received a 30% discount to help reduce air pollutants, considering the importance of the coal mines (RUP) and the Pljevlja Thermal Power Plant (TE) for the energy stability of Montenegro.

An additional 6.4% discount on network services has been granted to all households connected to the EPCG distribution network, regardless of their debt, to offset the increase in network service prices, the statement mentioned.

In February, households consumed 147.43 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, which is a 10.46% decrease compared to January, but a 11.87% increase compared to February of the previous year.
