In addition to EPCG, there are five other companies licensed to supply electricity (DOO "Energija Gas and Power", DOO "Uniprom" Nikšić, DOO "Petrol Crna Gora MNE" Podgorica, DOO "Montenegro Bonus" Cetinje and DOO "Twinfin Tesla" Podgorica).
The electricity distribution system of Montenegro is managed by the distribution system operator – CEDIS, which was separated from the vertically integrated company EPCG in June 2016.
In 2012, a study was published on the assessment of the biomass supply potential in the member states of the Energy Community, in which it was concluded that using the energy potential of biomass in Montenegro could produce electricity in the amount of 4,200 GWh/year.
While the exploration of hydrocarbon reserves in the Montenegrin seabed is ongoing, Montenegro currently supplies almost half of its energy needs through imports, mainly due to the lack of domestic resources for the production of oil derivatives.
In 2021, three petrol stations were opened, two in Podgorica (one owned by AD Jugopetrol Podgorica and the other one owned by DOO Pigo Petrol Nikšić) and one in Danilovgrad, owned by DOO Hifa Oil CG Podgorica. Also, a yacht servicing facility was opened in Bar, owned by DOO Novi Gas.
The Montenegrin distribution system21 consists of power lines with total length of 19.997,63 km, voltage levels of 35 kV, 10 kV and 0.4 kV, and 4.748 substations with transmission ratio of 35/10 kV, 35/6 kV, 35/0.4 kV and 10/0.4 kV, and total transformation power of 2.747,04 MVA.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
