Electricity Market Association challenges claims of 20% bill reduction

On August 27, 2026, the Electricity Market Association (SAI) issued a statement refuting claims that reducing the sales price of solar energy from commercial photovoltaic parks could lead to a 20% reduction in electricity bills for households and businesses. The association stated that such expectations are unsubstantiated by current market data.

According to the SAI, private renewable energy producers participating in the competitive market account for only 6.4% of solar energy traded in the day-ahead market, amounting to 262 GWh. The association emphasized that, mathematically, a price change in such a small segment of total production cannot result in a total 20% decrease in final consumer bills.

While the association acknowledges the public and political pressure for lower energy costs, which it recognizes as essential for social welfare and economic competitiveness, it maintains that these figures are not supported by evidence. The statement clarifies the technical limitations of the current energy market structure, highlighting that broad public demands for significant cost reductions must be reconciled with actual market realities and the limited reach of individual photovoltaic contributions.
