Proposed from 2021 to five years to keep the action of a reducing mechanism for consumers and budget organizations of housing and communal services. This will affect more than 7 thousand companies with electricity consumption of more than 3 billion kilowatt hours. Also three years it is planned to extend its action to FEC organizations and enterprises involved in mining. For all other consumers, including small and medium businesses and organizations working in the territories of priority development (tpd) and some others, it will continue to operate until 2028. This will affect more than 20 thousand consumers with electricity consumption of more than 3.5 billion kWh per year.

the Mechanism of reduction of tariffs to the national average was launched from 2017 in five regions of DFO, but in 2021 it stopped. According to the head of Minvostokrazvitiya Alexander Kozlov, now the price for consumers has fallen to 4 rubles per kilowatt/hour. For example, in Chukotka, the price decreased by 68%, in Yakutia – by 47.7%. “If the mechanism is not extended, the rates in these subjects again go up. In Chukotka, the price of electricity will rise to 32 rubles per kW/h, in Yakutia almost 25 roubles, and on the Kamchatka Peninsula almost 14 roubles”, – he said at a meeting on energy and gasification of the far Eastern Federal district .

the Bill has been approved by relevant agencies and received a positive conclusion of the GPU and Expert Department of the President.

“the rate will certainly contribute to improving the investment climate, development of small and medium business”, – says the managing partner of the consulting company Bright Denis Abakumov.

the Cost of electricity in the far East one of the most expensive in Russia. In the region many remote areas and a high proportion of isolated networks. For example, on Sakhalin island electricity generated by two power stations, not connected to the mainland. In Chukotka and in Yakutia there are places where the fuel for the power plants are imported in the months ahead. Most of the power plants here on the corner, some of them have modernized, but many still waiting for their turn.
