KESCO, in its capacity as the Universal Service Supplier, informs the public and business community that the second phase of electricity market liberalization will take effect on April 1, 2026, in accordance with the Law on Electricity and decisions of the Energy Regulatory Office (ZRrE).
In this phase, commercial consumers with more than 50 employees or an annual turnover exceeding €10 million will no longer receive electricity at regulated tariffs from the Universal Service Supplier. These businesses are required to select a licensed supplier in the open market.
According to data from the Kosovo Tax Administration, several businesses no longer meet the criteria for universal service, and KESCO will therefore be unable to continue supplying them at regulated tariffs from April 1.
Businesses that meet the criteria must choose a licensed supplier and begin the switching process at least 21 working days before the new contract comes into effect. A list of licensed suppliers is available on the ZRrE official website.
If a supplier is not selected in time, the business will be temporarily supplied by the Last Resort Supplier for up to 60 days. After this period, if no contract is in place, supply may be suspended according to applicable legislation.
Self-consumers (prosumers) are notified that the current regulated tariff scheme will end on this date, and energy produced will be handled according to contracts with the chosen supplier.
To ensure proper handling during this process, KESCO encourages all eligible businesses to confirm and report their consumer units/figures currently in use. These numbers can be found at the top of electricity bills.
