The cost of electricity for wholesale consumers in the next two years will grow sharply. This conclusion came the “MARKET” (regulator of the Energy Stalls), who has updated the forecast until 2025 upon request of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS), writes Kommersant.
It is assumed that in the European part of Russia and in the Urals growth will be almost 6 percent. In Siberia this year it will reach 15 percent, and next 7 percent will increase. We are talking about a one-time price for industry, directly improving citizens will not touch.
However, such an increase will lead to a rise in price of products of enterprises and a decrease in its competitiveness in the global market. As pointed out in the “Community of Energy Consumers” (large industry), the price of energy for industry in recent years is reduced abroad, so Russia may lose the remaining advantage.
The reason for rising prices will be a non-market surcharge due to the construction of new TPPs, stations using renewable energy and nuclear power plants. If we talk about Siberia, then there an increase in payments is associated with new TPPs, built under power supply contracts (DPM), and competitive power take-off prices (com).
In the Ministry of Economic Development, they were offered to freeze the volume of non-market premises to the price price at the current year level. At the same time, in the “Board of Energy Manufacturers” (major generating companies) indicated that the last year came across many forecasts for the fall in consumption and price increases, but the last parameter did not exceed the inflation rate.
Earlier, the head of the “Climate and Green Energy” direction of the Center for Strategic Developments, Oleg Kolobov, said that the current level of electricity tariffs for the population is lower than the cost-effective 30-50 percent.
