MPs representing the liberal party Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) are proposing the amendment to the Act on Regulation in Network Industries under which the profit from the provision of network services by the operator of the transmission grid would be used exclusively for the reimbursement of planned costs for network services
The opposition MPs would like to curb the use of the profit generated by the company Slovenska Elektrizacna Prenosova Sustava (SEPS) controlled by the state via the finance ministry. MPs representing the liberal party Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) Karol Galek and Jana Kissova will try to enforce the amendment to the Act on Regulation in Network Industries in the Parliament. Under the amendment, the profit from the provision of network services by the operator of the transmission grid would be used solely for the reimbursement of planned costs for network services. “The draft bill responds primarily to the fact that despite the annual profitability of the state company, the tariff for the operation of network services is one of the highest in the European Union and it is paid by households and other electricity consumers in their electricity prices. In other words, they contribute to the profitability of the state company,“ Galek and Kissova stressed. They are convinced that electricity prices would decline significantly once their amendment is passed in the Parliament.
