In April, users of the electricity distribution system consumed a total of 188,866,423 kWh of electricity, around 4% less than in the same period last year and 18% less than in March. The largest share of electricity, around 38%, was distributed to users in the areas of Podgorica, Danilovgrad and Cetinje (Region 2).
A total of 380,008 meters were read, or 93.5% of the total number (unread metering points are located in buildings that are not permanently occupied). The meter reading rate at metering points equipped with new electronic meters is 99%.
In April, the Maintenance Sector teams carried out 1,428 field interventions. The value of maintenance work on electricity infrastructure facilities amounted to around EUR 210,371 thousand.
During April, operating permits were issued for two pole-mounted substations in the Rožaje area (STS 10/0.4 kV “Repište” and “Crnja”), with a value of around EUR 60,000, and work began on the reconstruction of the 10/0.4 kV substation “Tomaševo” in Bijelo Polje. Preparations were also made in the previous month for the implementation of 39 investment projects, for which more than EUR 2.3 million has been allocated for construction (excluding VAT). Of these projects, the largest amount—around EUR 485,000 (excluding VAT)—has been allocated for the construction of the 10 kV line “Klinci-Arza”.
In April, 207 new users were connected to the distribution network.
In the previous month, 794 new electronic meters were installed across Montenegro. The total number of metering points in Montenegro equipped with remotely controlled electronic meters is around 325,000, covering approximately 80% of consumption.
CEDIS’s core activities are electricity distribution and the construction and maintenance of distribution facilities and the network. CEDIS distributes electricity to around 406,000 users across Montenegro.
