The Central Market Surveillance Inspectorate (IQMT) has fined KEDS €35,000 following the laboratory verification of 16 electricity meters from consumers who filed complaints, in which several irregularities were discovered.

This action comes after the Kosovo Metrology Agency (AMK) and the Verification Commission for Electricity Meters, established by the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship, Trade, and Innovation (MINTI), received these complaints.

According to the verification results, in six cases, the electricity meters were found to have expired verification deadlines. In six other cases, discrepancies in the time and date were identified. Additionally, one case revealed that the approval for the type of electricity meter had been revoked, while three other meters are still undergoing laboratory verification procedures, as announced by MINTI.

Both MINTI and AMK have stated that verifications will continue in the coming days to ensure consumer protection and guarantee the proper functioning of electricity meters.
