Jurisdiction

Energy Law (“Official Gazette of RS”, No. 145/14 and 95/18 –another law) proscribes the jurisdiction of local self-government unit, i.e. the City of Belgrade in the field of heat. Therefore, the Energy Agency has no jurisdiction in the field of heat.

Pursuant to the Articles 345-366 of the Energy Law, local self-government units, i.e. the City of Belgrade are competent for:

  • issuance and withdrawal of licences for heat production, distribution and supply, keeping registry of issued licences and registry of heat producers with power from 0.1 MW to 1 MW,
  • setting conditions for heat delivery and supply in this area, rights and obligations of heat producers, distributers, suppliers and final customers,
  • more detailed definition of the procedure for the allocation of costs of joint metering point in the heat transfer station and conditions for maintenance of a part of the system, including the heating equipment of a customer, rights and obligations of heat customers in case of termination of the contract or suspension of delivery,
  • approval of the price of heat
  • provision of reliable and secure heat supply in line with the law,
  • issuance of energy permit for the construction of facilities for heat production with 1MWt and higher power,
  • deciding upon applications for the award of a privileged heat producer status, criteria for the award of the status and manner and procedure for the award of privileged heat producer status,
  • more detailed definition of conditions for the award of a vulnerable heat customer status under the conditions prescribed by the Law,
  • approval of heat distribution network code

This law defines the Government jurisdiction in:

  • adoption of a legal document which regulates the conditions for issuance, amendment and withdrawal of energy licences in the field of heat and
  • adoption of a methodology for setting price of heat supply to a final customer (Article 362 of the Energy Law)
