Electricity prices in Montenegro

Montenegro generates its electricity from hydropower plants, a lignite-fired plant at Pljevlja and a growing number of wind and solar farms, and it balances supply through imports and an undersea cable to Italy. The state utility EPCG supplies almost every household, and its tariffs are regulated by the energy regulator.

Bills are issued in euro, which the country uses as its currency, and two-rate metering with cheaper night-time electricity is common. Because there is no gas network, electricity is the main source of heating in most homes, often through reversible air-conditioning units that also cool them in summer, so household consumption peaks in both winter and the tourist season. Rooftop solar for households is encouraged through government programmes.
