The Russian authorities want to link the electricity tariffs of Russians to the volume of their consumption. It is planned to do this starting from 2024.
According to Kommersant, citing its sources, the revision of tariff differentiation is to be transferred to the regional level. Those regions that agree to this measure will retain the opportunity to increase the volume of cross-subsidization (additional payments by businesses for tariff reductions).
If regional authorities decide not to change tariffs for the population, they will be obliged to subsidize them from their own resources.
The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) confirmed that the transition to the new tariffs may take place in two months. One of the reasons for this measure in the Department called the fight against illegal operations in the field of cryptocurrency mining.
Earlier in the State Duma proposed to cancel identification when paying for housing and utility services up to 60 thousand rubles.
