Sinora removed indefinitely
Tariffs for the electric power decided not to touch.
Amid growing fiscal burden on citizens, the White house is “indefinitely” postponed the discussion sotsnormy (differentiated tariffs) for electricity for the population. A new mechanism could lead to higher prices for the “overconsumption” of more than 300 and 500 kWh per month and the gradual abolition of preferential tariffs for apartments with electric stoves and the rural population. But back to the subject, the government may, after analysis of real incomes of the population by the end of 2019.
The government refused to discuss the introduction of differentiation of tariffs for electric power (social norms) for individuals, the message of the representative of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak Ilya juice. As noted by Mr. juice, following the meeting, Dmitry Kozak, held January 23, the decision to cease indefinitely the discussion of the proposals on the introduction of differentiated tariffs and phasing out of the reduction coefficient to the tariff for apartments with electric stoves and individual houses (rural population).

The question of the possible introduction of sinori was raised again in 2018, Dmitry Kozak has instructed the economy Ministry to submit proposals on this issue in January 2019. As reported by “Kommersant” on 23 January, the economy Ministry proposed to keep the base (current) rate for monthly consumption up to 300 kWh in the calculation of the personal account. If you exceed this limit and up to 500 kWh per month was assumed to pay the higher rate, the energy in excess of 500 kWh per month was payable at economically reasonable rate (according to experts, it is twice above the current low rate for the population). For individual regions could be introduced higher boundaries of consumption, but gradually by 2033 had to be removed reduction factor of 0.7 to the electricity tariffs for houses with electric cookers and rural population. As wrote “Kommersant”, the Ministry of energy prior to the meeting to change the position and opposed, arguing, in particular, the fact that the fiscal burden on the population and so increasing significantly.

He noted that he made “a principled decision” on a phased introduction of fees for the reserve grid capacity (unused consumers of network capacity) that will eliminate cross subsidies between industrial consumers in the amount of more than 100 billion rubles per year.
