He says that a family of four with an appartment of 80 m2, on average would need EUR 1.500 for the internal installation. It will be subsidized by government measures.
This Government is focused on bringing gas to every family. But not only to bring it, but also to make it cheaper. I believe that all the prerequisites have been created. At the moment, construction of the branches toward Tetovo, Gostivar, and toward Bitola is underway. I expect all of this to be completed by the middle of the year, and by the end of 2020 they will be operational. By then, we will need to have concluded a public–private partnership for the construction of the distribution network. The VAT on gas is also being reduced. We are preparing a package of measures to subsidize families,” said Bajram Rexhepi, Director of National Energy Resources (NER), on the ‘Morning Briefing’ program on Slobodna TV.
He says that, a four-person family with an apartment of 80m2 on average would need EUR 1.500 for the internal installation. It will be subsidized by government measures. All social families will be subsidized and for the remaining households an operational plan through long term payments will be made, as is the case with all operators.
- For the branch to Bitola to be completed, another 7–8 kilometers need to be built. I expect that in the second half of this year the entire Pelagoniјa region will have gas; Vodno has already been constructed. I was in contact with the NGOs, and I can express my gratitude to them. They contributed to reducing the impact on the environment,” added Rexhepi.
