    CommentWith regard to market liberalization, the Law envisages that all household customers will become eligible to choose their supplierin 2015. Non-household customers (32,300 or 10% of all customers) are currently eligible to switch suppliers. The EnergyRegulatory Agency made a decision that from January 1, 2013 the customers connected to transmission network, are obligated toswitch to othersuppliers. There are two customers which consume one-third of the total yearly electricity supply in Montenegro.
