The Serbian government issued an instruction for Elektromreza Srbije public enterprise to put all net inter-state transfer capacities flowing in Serbia’s direction at the disposal of public enterprise Electric Power Industry of Serbia as of midnight of February 29.
The measure suspends the market of cross-border capacities and makes room for directing electricity from the transit toward Serbia, the release states.
The government issued such an instruction because the extremely low temperatures and abundant snowfall caused electricity shortages, and the measures implemented so far completely used up all the possibilities for a production increase or electricity purchase on the Serbian market.
