Users of the electricity distribution system consumed a total of 270,365,177 kWh of electricity in January, approximately 9% more than in December. The largest amount of electricity, around 40 per cent, was distributed to users in the areas of Podgorica, Danilovgrad and Cetinje (Region 2).
A total of 383,909 meters were read, or 93 per cent 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 per cent.
In January, the Maintenance Sector teams carried out 1,648 field interventions. The value of maintenance work on electricity facilities amounted to €31,828.
343 new users were connected to the distribution network in January.
Last month, 329 new electronic meters were installed across Montenegro. The total number of metering points in Montenegro equipped with remotely managed electronic meters is around 335,000, covering more than 80 per cent of consumption.
In January, work continued on 12 investment projects at the secondary network level, worth around €1.23 million. In the Podgorica area, projects are underway to construct three 10/0.4 kV transformer stations (under the “Pobrežje – zones A, B, C” Detailed Urban Plan, the “Konik – Stari Aerodrom III” Detailed Urban Plan and “Beri 4”), with a total value of around €430,000. Activities are also underway to collect the documentation required for the construction of two cable lines, “Jadran Perast – TS Dražin Vrt” and “TS Dražin Vrt – Orahovac”, which will require an investment of around €273,000. During January, a significant portion of the design documentation was also obtained for the reconstruction of the 10 kV overhead line “Žabljak – Borje – Vrela”, valued at around €183,000.
CEDIS’s core activity is the distribution of electricity, and the construction and maintenance of distribution facilities and the network. CEDIS distributes electricity to around 413,000 users across Montenegro.
