Users of the electricity distribution system consumed a total of 187,486,727 kWh of electricity in September, 27 per cent less than in August and at the same level as in September last year.
The largest share of electricity, or almost 35 per cent, was distributed to users in the areas of Podgorica, Danilovgrad and Cetinje (Region 2).
A total of 346,838 metering points were read in the previous month, or 92 per cent of the total. Eight per cent of meters are still inaccessible for reading because they are located inside buildings that are not in use or are used only occasionally.
The reading rate for metering points equipped with new electronic meters is 99.1 per cent.
